App Dev Network

Identify and Develop Applications Your Customers Need Using Ingram Micro Preferred Partners

Application development is a priority for companies looking to gain or maintain their competitive advantage. As technologies and languages used to operate devices become more specialized, it becomes even more difficult for IT departments to integrate the myriad of endpoints like mobile apps, cloud-based applications, social networks and a growing number of other “things” within their organization.

Adoption of these new technologies poses formidable challenges to IT departments. Enterprise applications are costly to develop and there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Lack of experience can add tens of thousands of dollars to the development and maintenance costs.

To help address these needs, Ingram Micro Professional Services is excited to offer our partners a network of application development resources as part of our Ingram Micro Preferred App Dev Network.
