"We want to incentivize you and give you more ways to grow your business, because we want you to partner more deeply with us," Ingram Micro CEO Paul Bay told attendees. "This is the early stages; we're launching this right now, but you're going to get things like personalized business intelligence data. Think of this more as a loyalty program wrapped around not just a rewards program, but a true loyalty rewards program that we're focused on," Bay emphasized in his remarks.
