Ingram Assisting Hardware as a Service Push
In the shortest phone briefing ever, Ingram Micro just spent about five minutes telling The VAR Guy about a new leasing program. The program should allow solutions providers to more easily offer hardware as a service (HaaS) to their customers.
There’s no surprise plot twist here, folks. The initiative is easy to understand. Ingram is simply admitting that HaaS is a fancy name for leasing. That’s refreshing. For VARs, the leasing program eliminates the need to pay for hardware up-front. An official press release is expected later today. The VAR Guy will give it a look. (Update: Here’s a link to that release).
I’m a current IM Reseller in Chicago. We are interested in offering HaaS by our Company which in effect would increase our purchases from Ingram. I am looking for information on programs currently offered specifically details on other Reseller doc’s. Can you help?
Tom,
Do you want an Ingram perspective or a third-party perspective?
Someone who might be able to help is Jim Wittry at Churchill Technology Finance. They are leasing experts. You can find info here.
Let us know if you need anything else.
