Computer business Ingram Micro stated it would be expanding its services and reopening its East Coast Solution Center.  The center will offer U.S. and Canadian solution providers a variety of resources, including demonstration areas such as home theatre, digital signage, remote office, etc.  This investment by the computer business, specializing in distribution is part of a plan to create demand for sales.

The computer business’ center will be based in Buffalo, New York in a 1,000 square-foot building.  The Ingram Micro facility will be enlarged by 30 percent with over 100 suppliers and four full-time engineers.  The focus of the center will be current technologies and up-coming breakthroughs.  The computer business hopes to bring thousands of solution providers, IT manufacturers and others to its labs.  

Ingram Micro spokespeople state that both its East and West Coast Solution Centers have brought about $2 million in closed sales and $7 million in its sales funnel last year.  This proven success gives participating solution providers a great motivation to participate in the activities provided.

The computer business’ solution centers were the first to offer digital home and digital signage solutions.  Both present the opportunity for partners to see technologies and use them before they are released and before recommending them to clients.
