Consortium Of National Resellers Will Leverage Ingram Micro's Breadth Of Products And Provide Complete Computer Telephony Solutions To End Users

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Nov. 17, 1997
Ingram Micro Inc., the world's leading wholesale distributor of technology products and services, announced today that its Telecom Integration Division has reached an agreement with five national computer telephony integration (CTI) resellers, who collectively form the CTI Consortium. The new organization is dedicated to the development of a national network of resellers that is committed to providing complete solutions for a variety of end users.

"The mission of the CTI Consortium is to create an alliance of leading value-added voice and data resellers (VARs) to provide cost-effective, integrated solutions for commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations nationwide," said Daniel M. Testa, president of Telecommunications Concepts and co-founder of the CTI Consortium. "During the next 12 months, the CTI Consortium will actively select solutions providers across the nation, who will benefit from the Consortium's special programs and services."

Laura Skinner, vice president and general manager of Ingram Micro's Telecom Integration Division added, "We are very excited that the CTI Consortium selected Ingram Micro as their preferred distribution partner. Ingram Micro will offer Consortium members a number of unrivaled attributes: including access to 48,000 products from 1,300 manufacturers; support from a 150-person professional technical support staff; strong financial programs and customized educational programs. In addition, members will receive referrals to other VARs in order to create total solutions." Skinner added that Ingram Micro was also chosen for its ability to lead the group through the convergence of the voice and data communication industries, as they create more value for the customer.

Benefits to Members
Consortium members will gain access to Ingram Micro's industry-leading Web site, which features real-time pricing and product availability, online ordering and the In-depth Library with 24,000 online documents.

Other benefits include Ingram Micro's exclusive agreement with Lucent Technologies, which offers interconnects and data VARs access to Lucent's NetCare data network integration and support services. Furthermore, Ingram Micro offers MCI's complete portfolio of data services through its netValue program, which is targeted to networking VARs and interconnects. Finally, Ingram Micro will provide the Consortium with state-of-the-art technical education services through its agreement with Global Knowledge Network, an international technical classroom training organization with more than 60 offices worldwide.

Founding Members of the CTI Consortium
The five founding members of the Consortium are: Telecommunications Concepts Inc. based in Springfield, Va.; Data Voice based in Norcross, Ga.; Standard Tel, based in Long Beach, Calif.; Digital Technologies based in Wood Dale, Ill.; and Vitec based in Overland Park, Kansas. Each Consortium member has been a long-standing industry leader in both voice and data solutions, in addition to having an excellent track record for providing superior service, as well as a solid commitment to the emerging CTI arena.
