SANTA ANA, Calif., June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced it is the primary distributor of choice according to solution providers, consultants, integrators and services companies who participated in the 2003 VARBusiness VAR 500 and Distribution 25 List and Research.
VARBusiness' Distribution 25 Survey also reported that Ingram Micro's 2002 revenues surpassed its nearest competitor by 40 percent and remains the industry's largest worldwide IT distributor. The research also attributed distribution's endurance of the "sluggish technology market" to a number of factors, including its willingness to explore new opportunities that deliver ROI and incremental revenues to the IT channel.
