Ingram Micro offers Dropbox Business to UK channel

Ingram Micro has expanded the reach and availability of Dropbox Business on the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace to channel partners in the UK.

Through the Cloud Marketplace, channel partners can purchase, configure and manage Dropbox Business via a single automated platform.

Apay Obang-Oyway, director for Northern Europe, Ingram Micro Cloud, said: “Through the Ingram Micro Ecosystem of Cloud, our channel partners have the ability to do more. We are excited to offer Dropbox alongside our existing services and provide channel partners and their customers a best-in-class cloud solution that speeds up collaboration and drives business growth.”

Dropbox Business offers a secure and centralised location for users to efficiently access, manage, backup, and sync critical workloads across multiple devices.

It also offers integration with hundreds of existing third-party solutions, enabling channel partners to attach relevant software offerings and deliver a value-added solution that increases cross-selling opportunities and market differentiation, said Ingram.

Through the Cloud Marketplace, channel partners will soon be able to attach Dropbox to Microsoft Office 365 via Ingram Micro’s productivity suite, and deliver a secure, end-to-end solution that streamlines business communications and enhances productivity.

“Offering an easy-to use and secure collaborative tool that can be seamlessly integrated with existing solutions presents a significant advantage for both our customers and our business,” said Ali Pricem, director of UK firm Panther Business IT Services.

“By leveraging the automated Cloud Marketplace to provision and manage Dropbox in real time, we are well positioned to meet the rapidly growing customer demand for enterprise-grade file sharing.”
