Ingram Micro Inc has formed the U.S. Advanced Solutions organization.
Led by newly appointed senior vice president Tim Ament, the division unifies the company’s go-to-market teams that support advanced computing and advanced technology solutions, including data center and infrastructure technologies, as well as enterprise software, networking, security, server, storage and virtualization. It also provides channel partners with the professional services, training, pre- and post-sales support and specialized solutions needed to address key technology categories, including audio-visual, data center, data-capture/point-of-sale, digital signage, peripherals, physical security, and unified communications.
“Bringing these strategic business units under one organization, overseen by a senior executive and managed by a team of proven business leaders, enables us to be more flexible and provide complete solution delivery for advanced and high-value technologies, as well as offer the dedicated resources and operational excellence our partners have come to expect from Ingram Micro,” said Paul Bay, president, North America, Ingram Micro Technology Solutions.
As part of the Advanced Solutions organization, Ament will oversee the teams that support the Promark General Services Administration (GSA) schedule and Ingram Micro’s professional and training services.
“Tim has a proven track record of managing large and mid-sized enterprise businesses and a longstanding reputation for partner advocacy within the IT channel,” continued Bay. “We are pleased to have him lead this expanded team to deliver even greater business value to our partners across the entire Advanced Solutions product and services portfolio.”
Ament joined Ingram Micro in 1997, and has held various executive leadership roles within the Ingram Micro sales and vendor management departments, as well as led and worked within various business units that support a wide cross-section of Ingram Micro channel partners and markets such as small to mid-sized business (SMB), mid-sized solution providers, system architects, system builders and technology integrators, as well as retail and national direct market resellers.
