ScanSource Pumps Funding Into Intelisys Programs Aimed At Helping Partners

Following its merger with Intelisys in August, ScanSource, the Greenville, S.C.-based IT distributor, has made a $300 million commitment to the master agent's Partner Investment and Advanced Commissions Programs.

The two programs, which have been dubbed "the Bank of Intelisys," has been helping agent partners build their businesses or make the transition to the monthly recurring revenue model. ScanSource's strong balance sheet will help Intelisys reach more partners, according to Petaluma, Calif.-based Intelisys.

Intelisys has provided qualified VAR, MSP, and agent partners with more than $5 million in business loans since launching both the Partner Investment and Advanced Commissions Programs.
