Signagelive inks deal with Ingram Micro to promote Samsung Smart Signage

August 12, 2013

Signagelive, a global technology company that specializes in developing cloud-based digital signage applications, announced today that its North American division has finalized a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Inc. to promote Samsung's cloud-based Smart Signage Platform.

As part of the partnership launch, Signagelive and Samsung representatives have been invited to participate in a Pro AV/Digital Signage bootcamp, held by Ingram Micro in Rosemont, Ill., from Aug. 13-15, according to the announcement. The event's purpose is to educate IT resellers about digital signage technology and to promote a turnkey digital signage solution, available exclusively through Ingram Micro.

Ingram Micro will promote Samsung's new Smart Signage Platform, supported by Signagelive technology, to commercial organizations in North America. This new agreement gives Signagelive widespread exposure to mainstream ProAV and IT resellers.

"Signagelive was a premier partner on Samsung's Smart Signage Platform, and we are pleased to see such a strong Samsung distribution partner launch their line of content software," said Richard Hutton, director of channel marketing at Samsung's enterprise business division, in the announcement. "Smart Signage Platform provides a streamlined display and content distribution technology that will reduce the cost of deployment and drive new markets for digital signage. Ingram Micro's distribution capabilities coupled with Signagelive software and Samsung's display technology promises to be a powerful combination for the channel."

Signagelive said it is the first company to date to introduce a full commercial offering — comprising a library of plug-and-play applications for different verticals — for Samsung's Smart Signage Platform. Ingram Micro will use these out-of-the-box applications to compile all-inclusive digital signage packages for its channel partner and reseller networks, according to the announcement.
