Rising fuel prices to hike cost of IT

摘要

IT departments are facing higher costs following a decision by the world's largest IT distributor to pass on the cost of rising fuel prices. The move could be the start of trend. Ingram Micro has said it will charge its reseller partners for freight - an extra cost that will inevitably be passed on to end-users. "Past practice has seen Ingram Micro absorb significant annual freight costs for shipping the products it distributes to resellers. Rapidly rising fuel costs mean that this practice can no longer be continued," the company said.
