US-based IP Telephony vendor expands European channel
US-based IP Telephony vendor Fonality has expanded its channel in Europe, signing partnerships with solution providers in France, Poland, Italy and the UK to resell and support its newly launched trixbox Pro phone system.
CNSI (France), Halo2 (Poland), V4VoIP (UK), VCOMM (UK), VoIPon (UK), and Wildix (Italy) are among the first to sign-up for Fonality’s value-added partner program, and are establishing themselves as important resources for advanced IP communications in Europe.
To facilitate adoption of trixbox Pro in Europe, Fonality will host an FtOCC (Fonality trixbox Open Communications Certification) training workshop in London on October 9-11th, 2007, at the Sheraton Skyline at Heathrow Airport. FtOCC is a training and certification course designed around the Asterisk-based trixbox platform.
Fonality created trixbox Pro specifically for the channel. It is a fully brandable, software-only product that creates new revenue streams for VARs and systems integrators expanding into IP communications. It is a hybrid-hosted phone system that offers an affordable alternative to the traditional, expensive IP-PBX solutions currently available in Europe.
“European SMBs need affordable business-class phone systems that easily scale as they grow and we’re supplying them with a system that does just that,” said Chris Vuillaume, vice president of business development and channel for Fonality. “We are giving our partners a product that enables them spend more time growing their business, and therefore boost revenue streams, rather than customizing solutions for customers.”
