MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ingram Micro LATAM Advanced Solutions Summit -- Ingram Micro Inc. today welcomed 600+ channel partners to its annual Latin America (LATAM) Advanced Solutions Summit in Miami, Fla.

“The business-building benefits of advanced technologies, such as converged infrastructure, big data, cloud, customer experience, DC POS, IoT, mobility and security are fueling digital transformation across the Americas and creating a greater need for the expertise, experience and execution channel partners bring to businesses worldwide,” said Bay. “Our multi-million-dollar investment in LATAM includes a dedicated team led by Executive Director Leonardo Gannio and an increased focus on expanding our advance solutions portfolio and accelerating sales and services growth for our channel partners across high opportunity verticals including education, financial services, healthcare, media, natural resources, public sector, retail and telecom.”

Additionally, Ingram Micro’s LATAM growth initiatives will introduce more financial services, as well as technical, professional services resources to channel partners across the 40 countries comprising its LATAM operations.

“Our Advanced Solutions organization is experiencing record growth across the Americas,” continued Bay. “These additional LATAM investments will fast-track our efforts and ensure we are going broader and deeper in areas that matter most to our channel partners and the customers they serve.”
