Ingram Creates New Surface-as-a-Service Offering

Following Microsoft’s launch of Surface-as-a-service at WPC 2016, Ingram Micro UK has created their own version of Surface-as-a-Service which allows partners to supply their customers with a managed offering of Surface hardware and associated cloud software on a leased basis.

The managed program calls upon all business areas of the Ingram Micro ecosystem and allow resellers to offer the entire Surface and Microsoft suite. The end-to-end solution will allow reseller partners to accelerate implementations for their own customers and permit a degree of flexibility. Additionally, customers will have access to leasing options which endeavor to reduce risk and will improve key financial measurements, with the adaptability of trade in and buy back services from Ingram Micro.

Brian Windsor, Senior Business Manager for Microsoft at Ingram Micro U.K. & Ireland commented, “We are thrilled to be able to launch Surface-as-a-Service utilising Ingram Micro’s business services and Microsoft’s portfolio of Hardware, Options and Software. This offering will permit our resellers to assist their customer’s transformation to digital with ease. What’s more, we have strived to build our leasing options with recurring business in mind in order to maintain longevity of customer investment for our resellers.”
