Campus Reseller Support
As a VIP member of the Campus Computer Reseller Association, Ingram Micro is focused on delivering an arsenal of value-added programs and services to take costs out of the College Campus Reseller (CCR) business model—and more importantly, to contribute to its evolution.
In addition to the benefits available to all GovEd Alliance members—including exclusive networking and training opportunities through annual invitational events—solution providers who participate in the GovEd Alliance College Campus Reseller Program receive:
- Dedicated CCR Support Teams—Ingram Micro knows what it takes to service the CCR community: quick answers, easy ordering, and support from experienced people who understand your business model. We deliver all this and more with a dedicated team of sales specialists focused on the CCR community.
- Field Sales Resources—There are times when a phone conversation just isn't enough. Ingram Micro has invested in strategic field sales resources to meet face to face with our CCR customers where it matters most—on-site in their stores. Set up a meeting with these experts and see how Ingram Micro can help you take your business to the next level.
- Technical Support—As solutions grow in complexity, access to fast and accurate technical support is critical to service your customers. Ingram Micro makes it easy with free CCR technical support from our world-class call center. Call (800) 445-5066 to speak with a technician today.
- Partners Licensing Desk—Software licensing continues to be one of the fastest growing product segments in the IT industry—especially in the higher-education market. Ingram Micro's Partners Licensing Desk has the expertise you need to assist your school with the optimal software licensing strategy. Plus, take advantage of our web-based Click2License licensing configuration and order management tool.
- CCR Steering Committee—Ingram Micro realizes that member input is a crucial part of evolving our GovEd Alliance College Campus Reseller Program. That's why we've assembled a 10-member panel of successful CCRs to guide us. Their feedback helps us build and deliver a program that exceeds your expectations.
- Custom Freight Program—Freight is an expensive part of any solution provider's business model, particularly in the higher-education marketplace. Ingram Micro's custom CCR freight program offers minimum freight thresholds that allow you to contain your shipping expenses and stay a step ahead of the competition.
- Extended Financing Terms—Ingram Micro understands the complexities of institutional accounting. That's why we've arranged extended financing terms for CCRs to provide the flexibility you need to manage your business.
- Flexible Returns Program—It's not easy to manage stocking levels in the age of just-in-time inventory. Ingram Micro has negotiated special returns privileges with key manufacturers for our CCR customer base. Furthermore, you'll receive stock balancing on most software products for the life of the edition.
- Discontinued Product Notification—Technical products change at an alarming frequency, and keeping up with what's current and what's not can feel like an impossible task. Ingram Micro can help. We've set up a system to alert you when a product you regularly purchase has been discontinued, allowing you to adjust your inventory and future orders accordingly. To sign up for this exclusive service, contact the Ingram Micro CCR sales team.
- Automated Price Protection—Take the risk out of carrying inventory. Ingram Micro has negotiated automated price protection from key manufacturers for our CCR customers, so stock up and make sure you have the products on hand to service your customers. To sign up for this exclusive service, contact the Ingram Micro CCR sales team.
- E-Storefront Packages—In the CCR community, as in the industry at large, the most successful retailers are also e-tailers. To help you compete, Ingram Micro has researched a number of e-storefront packages and negotiated special CCR rates with the ones that best align with this unique business model's needs. Contact one of our e-commerce specialists at (800) 616-4665 to take the next step in the evolution of your business.
- Institutional Bid Support Services—Responding to an institutional bid request can consume significant amounts of time and resources. Ingram Micro offers Institutional Bid Support Services to position you to win these opportunities. Our technicians will break down the product specifications and recommend the right solutions while our pricing team provides the aggressive pricing you need to beat the competition. Let our team work on your bid so your team can focus on what they do best: servicing your customers.
- Back-to-School Specials—With more than 1,400 manufacturer partners on our linecard, Ingram Micro is well positioned to put together an extensive back-to-school promotional package specifically for our CCR customers. Each year, we negotiate special pricing, develop strategic bundles and solicit POS display materials to help make your busy season a success.
- CCR Essentials List—Wondering what other CCR customers are selling? Check out the CCR Essentials list—a compendium of the best-selling products and hot product categories across our CCR customer base. Visit the Campus Reseller Corner at www.ingrammicro.com/goved to see the latest list.

These gatherings are the perfect opportunity to share best practices with your peers and stay up to speed on the latest technology products.
