December 10, 2008
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Ingram Micro Inc. has announced ITSENCLOSURES as the first large-format display enclosures vendor to be offered as part of the distributor's digital signage portfolio in the U.S. The new agreement marks the first mainstream distribution relationship for ITSENCLOSURES and further enhances the value of Ingram Micro's Digital Signage Division by addressing channel partners' need for access to custom and standard digital signage LCD enclosures. According to Kevin Prewett, vice president, Digital Signage Division and vendor management, Ingram Micro U.S., digital signage is becoming standard use in many of today's vertical markets — especially where real-time communications and streaming video are critical to ensuring a positive user experience. "Take for example baseball stadiums, railroads, coffee shops, airports, retail outlets and entertainment parks — all of which have started to use digital signage as a primary means of communicating and interacting with customers," Prewett said. "There's no question that opportunity is out there and with this new line of standard and custom rugged LCD enclosures our channel partners will be able to better address market demands and protect and preserve their clients' digital signage investments."
"Ingram Micro's established footprint in the digital signage arena combined with its existing reach into the U.S. channel community made this relationship an ideal catalyst for growing our partner base," said JT Spangler, president, ITSENCLOSURES. "As the digital signage market has matured, demand for outdoor LCD displays has increased and created an outstanding value proposition for our enclosures. We see tremendous opportunity to market and sell our products to and through Ingram Micro's channel partners and look forward to growing our business together."
