Broadvox Certified by CMP Channel's VARBusiness as a Silver 5-Star Winner in the Marketing Support, Partner Profitability, Communication and Partner Recruitment Categories in its 2008 Partner Program Guide
Broadvox Hailed for SIP Trunking VAR Partner Program

Dallas, TX — 03.31.08 — Broadvox, an industry leader in IP communications, today announced it has been recognized by CMP Channel's VARBusiness as one of North America’s top information-technology (IT) vendors for its SIP Trunking VAR Partner Program.

Broadvox was certified as a Silver 5-Star Winner in VARBusinesses’ 2008 Partner Program Guide (PPG), a guide that acknowledges the commitment and strength of a vendor's partner programs for its Channel resellers, IT integrators and technology consultants.

The Broadvox VAR sales program enables resellers to offer a complete solution to end-users by providing SIP Trunking services in addition to equipment purchases and upgrades. The savings allow end-users to realize a quicker ROI in implementing IP communications thus freeing up monies for additional spend with the VAR on either additional products or services. By maximizing clients' IP PBX installations and reducing their telecom costs with Broadvox GO! SIP Trunking, contracts with limited financial potential can be quickly converted into lucrative ongoing service contracts.

Typical savings for customers who deploy SIP Trunking ranges from 30% to 70% over traditional phone service. In addition to the reduction of telecom costs, customers also get unlimited local calling, with options for directory assistance, 911 and LNP. When SIP Trunking is deployed a range of features becomes available including dynamic load balancing, business continuity solutions, unified communications, find me/follow me and many more IP-enabled services.

With recurring commissions of up to 20% and equally-generous up-front spiffs, Broadvox has one of the strongest VAR incentive programs. Of the hundreds of vendor program entries reviewed for this, the 14th annual VARBusiness Partner Program Guide, Broadvox was one of only ten Silver 5-Star Winners in the Marketing Support category as well as the categories of Partner Profitability, Partner Recruitment and Communication for their VAR Partner Program. It is noteworthy that there were only ten Silver 5-Star winners in each of the six categories of Sales Support, Marketing Support, Partner Profitability, Channel Operations, Partner Recruitment and Communication.

“The quality of a vendor's partner program reflects the true commitment they have to the thriving Solution Provider Channel, and this years five-star partner programs guide winners are the cream of the crop of Channel-friendly vendors," said Robert C. DeMarzo, vice president and editorial director, CMP Channel.

“Our ability to forge relationships is a key factor to our success. Recent partnerships with significant new channels of distribution are extremely significant and have presented the opportunity to increase our market share exponentially,” stated Mark Bresler, VP of Channel Sales at Broadvox. “We rely on our indirect channel of VARs to sell the Broadvox SIP Trunking products and are able to provide them with a good deal of flexibility to address their customers’ needs. At Broadvox the customers define the package they need and then we tailor the solution to satisfy that need; not the other way around.”
