In conjunction with its Solution City effort, the company�s corporate-wide initiative designed to educate resellers on vertical market sales strategies, this contest is one more way for ScanSource to provide resellers with information on vertical and technology solutions available to meet their end-users� needs. Any ScanSource, Catalyst Telecom or Paracon reseller is eligible for the contest. All entries must contain hardware manufactured by the three companies� best-of-breed manufacturers. Resellers can enter more than one solution.

�We�re excited to give our reseller partners the opportunity to share their original solutions with us,� said Bobby McLain, vice president of marketing for ScanSource, Inc. �Through this contest we are opening the doors for our resellers to enter any technology solutions that can meet the ever-changing vertical market needs of end-users.
