QuickVid: Inside Ingram’s mobility play

Mark Snider videoSPONSORED CONTENT – is no doubt a hot spot in the market, but solution providers have been largely cut off from a portion of that business – the actual service sale.

But Ingram Micro Canada believes that now that it’s signed up all of ‘s “big three” mobile , that doesn’t need to be the case anymore.

We caught up with Ingram Micro Canada general manager at the distributor’s Mississauga, Ont. to discuss the company’s play in mobility, where it’s been, and where it’s going.

Snider also touches on smoothing out the potential challenges in solution provider/carrier interaction, how VARs can double their margins on some sales, what Ingram’s doing to make the recurring nature of mobile service sale more accessible to VARs’ sales reps, and where he expects the mobility business to go heading into 2012.

Check out the after the jump.
