In technology, emerging markets are where the shape of the future can be seen — and no one sees
it more clearly than Ingram Micro. Throughout our history, we’ve proven that we have the knowledge
and expertise to identify new markets and technologies early in their lifecycles.Whether an opportunity
is technology- or customer-driven, we’re first on the scene, providing information and services to help
our partners take advantage of it.
Focus And Foresight
How do we stay a step ahead? It’s easy: Our company is designed to gather and process information
from multiple sources. Through research, customer interactions and partnerships with manufacturers,
we learn about new technologies and up-and-coming markets. We pinpoint those with the greatest
potential for profitable growth and end-user demand, then develop go-to-market programs to capitalize
on them. Because our connections span the industry, our ability to recognize trends is vast. Our reach
covers many market segments and product categories.
Driving The Information Revolution
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the area of communication. As the world becomes more and
more connected through the Internet, new technologies keep springing up to meet market demand. In
addition to expanding within the business arena, networks are penetrating homes.Wireless and handheld
devices are enabling instant connectivity from remote locations. High-end storage solutions are being
created to handle the massive amounts of data people can now exchange. In the midst of it all is
Ingram Micro, facilitating the transfer of products and information from manufacturers to solution
providers to customers in diverse market segments. And the stream flows both ways: When solution
providers tell us what their customers want and need, we pass that knowledge on to our manufacturer
partners so they can fine-tune the solutions they offer.
In 2001, as always, we will remain dedicated to anticipating, recognizing and leading industry trends.
It’s a philosophy that will keep us as competitive tomorrow as we are today, no matter how quickly our
industry changes.
