SYNNEX Information Technologies, Inc. Expands Supplies and Accessories Support Through ECI² Partnership
FREMONT, CA — July 23, 2003 — SYNNEX Information Technologies, Inc., a global information technology
(IT) supply chain services company, recently signed a new partnership
agreement with eCommerce Industries Inc. (ECI²), a leading
provider of e-commerce and business system software for office
products, IT consumables, and other adjacent industries. The
agreement will allow SYNNEX to serve independent dealer customers
in the supplies and accessories market through ECI² IT
solutions, which include a new Internet-based private supply
network (PSN) service. The new PSN service enables fast, reliable
Internet transactions, using compatible business system software
from ECI² subsidiary Distribution Data Management Systems,
Inc. (DDMS).
The relationship introduces SYNNEX as the first IT hardware
distributor associated with ECI² offerings. In the supplies
and accessories marketplace, SYNNEX serves an independent
dealer community comprised of VARs, Office Products Dealers,
and Computer Supply Specialists. This added offering provides
the dealers an additional option for supplies, hardware and
accessories, allowing them the convenience and efficiency
from one comprehensive supplies source.
“SYNNEX is pleased to be working with ECI². We
will now be able to provide our independent dealers with
an additional wholesale choice for supplies, hardware and
accessories,” stated John Baumgarten, VP of Sales,
Supplies, for SYNNEX. “Our dealer partners can combine
their supplies purchases with hardware and software orders,
making procurement more efficient and cost-effective than
ever before. Also, our vendor partners will benefit through
an opportunity to penetrate markets in which they had no
prior access. We look forward to offering this enhanced standard
of services.”
"Office product dealers, computer and business equipment
dealers, and IT resellers throughout the country rely on
ECI²'s integrated business system software and Internet
e-commerce solutions to manage their operations," stated
ECI² Founder and President Paula Jagemann. "The
ECI² PSN enables innovative wholesalers like SYNNEX
to provide these dealers with Internet-based purchasing and
other value-added services. The features available through
the PSN not only save time and money for both the wholesalers
and the dealers they serve, but allow those dealers to be
more competitive in the marketplace."
