Following what the company's describe as "significant
business growth in the past 12 months" Nortel has conferred Platinum status to
Commander under its nPower partner program.
This gives Commander greater access to Nortel's tech
personnel and premium Nortel support, but it also means a bigger share of the
marketing budget and better margins for product no doubt.
Commander's General Manager of Enterprise Sales, Steve
Evans, said: "Nortel and Commander have been working together for more
than a decade. Commander provides a 360-degree communications solution spanning
voice, data, mobility and network products and services, supported by more than
300 highly skilled field engineers operating around Australia. I expect the Platinum
status to give us even more momentum to push on in our markets and raise the
bar even higher for our enterprise customers".
Commander became a Gold nPower partner last year and since
then says it has been providing a variety of Nortel solutions to enterprises,
including IP contact centres, hybrid IP communications and converged
applications.
Recent successes include sales to business platform
developer Avanteos, Banking and Financial Services Ombudsman Limited, and Queensland's Toowoomba
City Council.
Nick Avakian, General Manager, Enterprise Solutions, Australia and New Zealand, Nortel, said:
"nPower partners like Commander have the right combination of skills and
resources to build powerful networks for their customers, with access to the
broadest range of IP and converged communications technologies and innovations
from Nortel and other market leaders.
"We've invested a lot of effort into refining our
partner program and finding the right mix of high-end distributors and
resellers through our nPower initiative," he said. "Commander has
consistently exceeded volume projections with Nortel's advanced IP
communications and next-generation convergence products in all areas of
industry and hit every benchmark in taking our portfolio of products and
solutions to market. Now Commander joins the very highest level of enterprise
distribution in the region."
The Nortel nPower Channel Partner Program is a strategic
Asia Pacific initiative designed to ensure channel partners are equipped with
in-depth expertise in Nortel's comprehensive voice, data and converged
solutions. As part of this program, Nortel supplies channel partners with the
technology, training and support required to help enterprise customers use its
solutions to maximise their business success.
