Under terms of the agreement, Ingram Micro will fully integrate CyberSource's Payment and Risk Management services with its comprehensive eCommerce offering through http://www.venturetechnetwork.com/.

The first affiliation of its kind, VentureTech Network is an alliance of IT solutions integrators with more than 500 members, focused on providing premium computer products, technology expertise and value-added services to the SMB market. Launched in January 1998, the Network is administered by Ingram Micro Inc. and provides its membership with access to the company's product breadth, unparalleled delivery capabilities and relationships with key manufacturers.
By offering CyberSource's integrated suite of eCommerce transaction services to Ingram Micro's VentureTech Network, the two companies provide small to midsize companies a complete solution to quickly and easily accept and process online orders.

"Ingram Micro is committed to helping our VentureTech Network members succeed and continually seeks to develop innovative services and capabilities-enabling our members to provide superior solutions for small and medium businesses," said Rick Sbrocca, vice president, Global SMB for Ingram Micro.
