About Sourcing Solutions
Founded in 2010, Sourcing Solutions (www.sourcingsolutions.com), through the IMSourcing brand, is the channel-centric solution for discontinued and end-of-life products. The Sourcing Solutions team leverages its many years of experience in sourcing, authenticating, testing and refurbishing discontinued products to provide the best technology solutions to increase the utility of legacy hardware systems. This model is a new, collaborative approach to a market that would otherwise be considered “grey” by Ingram Micro. This partnership is similar to the certified pre-owned auto sales market. As the model of new car dealers selling used cars changed the auto industry business model forever, so can Sourcing Solutions’ model of repositioning valuable, yet used, discontinued and refurbished technology solutions to the right customers that need, want and can benefit from a solution that isn’t necessary “bleeding edge” but fits their needs and budgets appropriately.
