LAS VEGAS, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- RSPA RetailNOW -- Offering channel partners
the industry's broadest and most complete selection of technology solutions,
Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) is pleased to announce its new SecurePOS (Point
of Sale) SMB Bundle - a unique, all-in-one POS solution that provides
retailers with complete, end-to-end data encryption of cardholder information
beginning at the swipe of the consumer's credit card.

Available now through the Ingram Micro Data Capture/POS Division, the new
SecurePOS SMB Bundle is the first solution of its kind to offer data
encryption capabilities. Sold exclusively to Ingram Micro channel partners in
the U.S., the new bundle is comprised of several in-demand technologies
including the HP rp3000 Point of Sale System, MagTek MagneSafe Card Reader,
and Uniforce Technology software. Additional hardware and software vendors
featured within the new bundle include Cherry Electronics, Citizen, Planar,
and Payment Processing, Inc. (PPI).

According to Justin Scopaz, general manager and vice president of Ingram
Micro's fast-growing Data Capture/POS Division, the market need and sales
potential for an affordable, safe, reliable and secure POS solution is
increasing rapidly among small and mid-size retailers. 

"Adoption of POS technology is growing due to the critical business need for
increased, productivity and accountability," says Scopaz. "Yet, businesses
that are not selective with the technology they deploy will continue to run
the risk of card theft and lose money, as well as customers, because they do
not have a secure POS solution in place. This new SecurePOS SMB Bundle is
unlike anything available through distribution today and offers our channel
partners a safe, secure and affordable all-in-one solution for their retail
customers."  

"Ingram Micro's SecurePOS SMB bundle is an exciting new offering that delivers
the security and performance retailers need, and the technical, sales and
marketing support channel partners want from their distribution partner," says
Dave Swinkin, U.S. Sales Manager, HP rPOS.

"We are fortunate to be a part of this outstanding collaboration with Ingram
Micro and its vendor partners to deliver an industry-first cardholder data
encryption solution for restaurants and retailers," says Chuck Reigel,
Executive Vice President, Software Products and Partnerships, PPI. "This new
SecurePOS SMB Bundle brings to market a powerful solution that helps our
channel partners ensure their customers' data is always safe and secure." 

Ingram Micro's new SecurePOS SMB Bundle is supported by the distributor's
best-in-class, cross-trained team of technical engineers.  Additional sales
and marketing resources have also been dedicated to this new offering and are
available now.
