ScanSource Security Launches State-of-the-Art Education and Training Program

GREENVILLE, S.C. – ScanSource® Security, a value-added distributor of physical security products and a business unit of ScanSource, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCSC), today launched ScanSource Security On-Demand, a state-of-the-art online education and information portal for security and networking dealers and resellers.   

Through On-Demand, resellers have access to product reviews and “how-tos” that outline the features and functionality of security and networking products, which are critical for resellers looking to learn about the best solutions available to meet their end-user’s needs.  Resellers can also uncover vertical market-specific information and learn how security can play in those markets.  What’s more, On-Demand provides useful technical training tips that can help new security salespeople better understand physical security products. 

On-Demand is ideal for dealers that are short on time and need information quickly. The Marketing Minute provides quick snippets on key marketing tools that can help resellers enhance their business, while Money Matters will provide insight on financing and cost savings.  The comprehensive portal will also take time out to deliver some entertainment and money-saving promotions.  On-Demand is designed for all levels of the reseller’s organization from executive management to entry-level salesperson.    

“Since ScanSource Security’s inception, we have been focused on delivering education, training and information that will help dealers and resellers be successful,” said Christie Hamberis, vice president of merchandising, ScanSource Security.  “The continued need for a comprehensive educational offering that spans sales, marketing, product and promotional information from ScanSource Security is very important to our reseller and vendor partners.  We believe On-Demand fulfills that need and will add significant value to the channel.”
