Stramaglio Consulting has announced that Distribution Management (DM) has joined The Consortium, a think tank of imaging industry leaders focused on helping the channel grow and thrive.

DM is an established, value-added, category-focused supplier in the print and imaging space specializing in automated order handling, data integration, managed print services and drop-ship fulfillment. With five strategically located distribution centers, DM is able to reach 99% of the United States within one to two days via ground and some international destinations within three to five days.

As a new member of The Consortium, DM hopes to add value as a distributor for print and imaging brands and a proponent of technology advancements that streamline growth and efficiencies among channel partners.

"We're looking forward to collaborating with this group of industry leaders and influencers to build partnerships, embrace the evolution of technology and grow channel business well into the future," said Barney Kister, senior vice president of strategic relationships, DM. "Joining forces with colleagues at this level of knowledge and experience is sure to bring about positive forward momentum for the industry as a whole."

The Consortium is assembled by Mike Stramaglio, president and CEO of Stramaglio Consulting, in order to establish an open collaborative platform that enables the imaging channel to embrace and lead digital transformation (DX).

"It is our great pleasure and honor to have DM join the Consortium," Stramaglio said. "The Consortium is all about floating all the boats and I am confident DM will work closely with the other members and will add another great value to the Consortium as a powerful leader in distribution with DX for the industry."
