Ingram Micro Continues Asia Pacific Expansion With New Cloud Marketplace in India

MUMBAI, INDIA--(Marketwired - Dec 20, 2015) - As cloud computing continues to grow across the Asia Pacific region, Ingram Micro Inc. ( NYSE : IM ) today announced the availability of the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace in India. Now offered in five countries throughout the Asia Pacific region and 17 countries worldwide, the Cloud Marketplace is quickly gaining widespread traction in India with nearly 200 channel partners already registered and ready to transact on the automated platform. The mounting excitement for the Cloud Marketplace is a true testament to the growing interest and demand for cloud computing in the region.

Initially featuring Microsoft Office 365 through the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, the automated Cloud Marketplace empowers channel partners to quickly grow their cloud business by bundling their own cloud services and consolidating invoicing. In addition, channel partners can now seamlessly convert Microsoft Advisor subscriptions to the CSP program on the Cloud Marketplace. The service plan supports the rapid adoption of Microsoft CSP and allows channel partners to own the complete customer subscription lifecycle while recognizing topline revenue.

According to IDC, demand for cloud services in India is growing at a rapid pace. Public cloud services are currently valued in 2015 at US$440 M, and are expected to grow to US$1128 M by 2019, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6%.*

"With cloud adoption growing steadily in India, we are pleased to deliver the platform, innovative solutions and expertise needed to support cloud business transformation," said Jaishankar Krishnan, Sr. Vice President & Chief Executive, Ingram Micro India Pvt. Ltd. "The availability of the Cloud Marketplace empowers channel partners to lift their customers' businesses to the cloud while growing their own profitability and cloud presence."

"Cloud adoption in India is growing in triple digit percentage year-over-year. We launched the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program earlier this year to help SMBs become more competitive with enterprise-grade technology and value-added services from Microsoft cloud. We feel it is important to understand the specific requirements and challenges that SMBs face and help them adopt the cloud in a manner that is financially viable and beneficial for their business, said Meetul Patel, General Manager, SMS&P Business, Microsoft India. "We are excited to be a part of the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace in India and look forward to helping both partners and customers get the best that cloud has to offer."
