I don't think your characterisation of Ingram is correct:
1) Ingram obviously have longstanding relationships with resellers - so of course they have a key role to mobilise the reseller network (especially for new products) - Ingram have a division dedicated to IoT - they make it their business to know what's out there, what's likely to sell, how to sell it - from there Ingram will push on its reseller network to get out into the market and drive sales
2) BUD have told us - multiple times - that Ingram have yet to complete their own on-boarding process of Ohm - that there have been significant delays by Ingram in certain markets - therefore if Ingram delay then the push to resellers is delayed - hence why BUD is desperately trying to gee up direct sales - because network sales are stalled
3) BUD cannot attempt to have direct relationships with thousands of resellers - they are not set up to manage that - and never will be - so BUD is not about to 'sign up more VARS' to any significant extent - that would defeat the purpose of working with Ingram

Be nice to get an update from Dicker Data. This investor presentation indicates they are doing well. Would love to know how much is attributed from Buddy.
