Ingram Micro Helps Channel Partners Tackle IT Asset Disposition; Launches New ITAD Processing Partner Program

0
Sponsored by Businesswire

Ingram Micro Inc. is bringing IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) processing
capabilities to our channel partners by providing them a proven
framework and methodology for safe and secure ITAD services via channel
partners’ own facilities. Developed by Ingram Micro’s Commerce &
Lifecycle Services’ ITAD group, the new ITAD Processing Partner Program
trains and prepares qualified channel partners to perform ITAD functions
in-house, using Ingram Micro’s global and proprietary BlueIQ asset
intelligence software and the RENUGO global resale platform for
real-time IT asset inventory management, process control, tracking,
remarketing, and reporting throughout the IT asset disposition process.

Approved VARs can now own the full disposition process, controlling
chain-of-custody and selling through Ingram Micro’s pre-qualified global
channels, to improve margins. Processing Partners can also call on
Ingram Micro ITAD to work with them on large opportunities or to provide
service in countries they don’t cover.

Ingram Micro is also pleased to recognize data protection provider MCPc
as its first ITAD Processing Partner. An industry leader in data
security and chain-of-custody, MCPc completed Ingram Micro’s ITAD
training process, which includes adhering to the same rigorous
data-security and environmentally compliant processing standards Ingram
Micro follows around the globe. The MCPc / Ingram Micro partnership for
ITAD services went live in March, and has seen tremendous traction since
day one.

“MCPc’s strong focus on chain-of-custody and data protection makes them
a great first partner for our ITAD Processing Partner Program,” said
Todd Zegers, vice president, ITAD, Commerce & Lifecycle Services, Ingram
Micro. “MCPc will use Ingram Micro’s BlueIQ and proprietary
methodologies to enhance its ability to provide its clients with
detailed ITAD scheduling, data sanitization, processing, remarketing and
recycling. The ability to utilize both BlueIQ and RENUGO means that MCPc
has an enhanced ability to provide best-in-class remarketing value
return to their clients, ensuring the lowest cost/highest return on
assets of value. Following MCPc’s lead, we look forward to channel
partners leveraging this program to expand the availability of safe and
secure asset management to more businesses across the globe.”

Greater Access to Top-Notch ITAD Services is Good for Business and
the Environment

“MCPc already enjoyed a strong relationship with Ingram Micro, so
choosing to partner with the ITAD group was a natural extension and
enabled us to expand our chain-of-custody solution set,” said Jason
Taylor, group president, asset disposition, MCPc. “MCPc’s secure
technology asset disposition program leverages Ingram Micro’s BlueIQ and
proven processes to provide consistent end-of-service processing through
flexible unit-level tracking, inventory control, process efficiencies,
visibility, value recovery, and reporting.”

“We’re pleased that MCPc has chosen to expand their existing reseller
relationship with Ingram Micro to include comprehensive IT asset
disposition services,” adds Kirk Robinson, senior vice president and
chief country executive, Ingram Micro U.S. “Under this new program, MCPc
and other channel partners across the U.S. have access to a service
providing a better way to dispose of and refresh their client’s outdated
technology in a secure, and environmentally-friendly way. Ingram Micro
is leading the way in innovation and service to provide channel partners
with the ability to manage the entire product lifecycle for their
customers.”
