Vology Joins ShoreTel as an Authorized Champion Partner to Meet Demand for Value-Based Unified Communications Solutions Across the U.S.
OLDSMAR, Fla., Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- If there is one positive outcome from the recent economic downturn, it is that businesses are operating smarter and spending their hard-earned dollars more wisely. This is especially evident in the telecommunications market, where companies are eschewing overly complex systems for those that provide features that truly make their offices run more efficiently. In response to this trend, Vology Data Systems recently became a National Champion partner with ShoreTel, the leading provider of simple IP phone systems that offer fully integrated unified communications (UC).
"We're pleased to welcome value-added partners into the Champion Partner Program -- especially those that have made the commitment to sales and technical training, infrastructure development and focus on customer service in delivering our innovative products and leading business solutions," said Tom Hamilton, senior director of worldwide channel marketing at ShoreTel. "Vology's appointment as an Authorized Champion Partner eligible to sell throughout the U.S. is based on Vology's value-add solution sales and delivery of ShoreTel Unified Communications solution."
"ShoreTel offers a superior product at a price point that makes sense," Vology Chief Executive Officer Barry Shevlin said. "A few years ago, businesses were wowed by all the bells and whistles. Today, they want a system that is reliable, scalable, can do everything they need, and fits in their budget."
While Vology has become the go-to resource for a wide range of new and quality pre-owned networking and telecommunications equipment, they have spotted a trend in IT purchasing. According to John Medaska, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, "customers know that improving their communications systems or networks will help them become more efficient, productive and profitable, so they're making the investment, but they are investing in a different way. In other words, if they can save money and get what they need, they're going to do it. In this market, ShoreTel is perfect."
With experienced sales professionals and certified ShoreTel engineers, Vology is introducing this line of products to customers in industries as diverse as education, healthcare, government and financial services. This new partnership with ShoreTel allows Vology to fulfill customers' needs and meet market demand for simplified solutions.
