ScanSource Revamps Structure, Management

Distributor ScanSource Inc. has revamped its structure and management.

The company says it is creating new leadership roles and reporting segments with global growth in mind. As a result, ScanSource now runs two technology units, each with its own president. The divisions are Worldwide Barcode and Security, which includes ScanSource POS and Barcode and ScanSource Security, and Worldwide Communications and Services, which encompasses ScanSource Catalyst, ScanSource Communications and ScanSource Services Group.

The new reporting segments of Worldwide Barcode and Security and Worldwide Communications and Services will replace the geographic segments of North America and International.
