Mitel Networks Attracts New Channel Partners Reflecting Increased Investment in the European Market
Mitel Networks begins aggressive channel expansion program to significantly increase global presence and reach
OTTAWA, Canada, Mitel Networks, a leading-edge provider of next-generation IP communications solutions, today announced that it has recruited four new distributors (Rocom, Nimans, Caltell and SPOT Distribution) as well as two new VARs (Mitech and Xpert Systems) in Europe as part of an extensive global expansion strategy.
New points of presence are being established through the opening of new offices in Holland, Italy, Germany, Spain and France. This expansion policy will leverage local channel expertise to deliver best-in-class business communication solutions to customers throughout Europe. Growth opportunities are also underway through increased channel development activities with global technology partners, Foundry Networks and Hewlett-Packard.
"With a new suite of IP-based converged platforms, desktop devices, and customer-focused applications optimized for the European market, we have been able to attract significant new channel partners in Europe," says Graham Bevington, managing director of Mitel Networks. "A local presence in Europe, coupled with the industry's most compelling portfolio solutions, primes Mitel Networks to become a leading player in the rapidly growing IP communications market."
Tom Kelly, chief executive of Xpert Systems, identified a need to partner with a company that specialized in the seamless delivery of converged IP-based solutions designed to offer exceptional business value. "After exhaustive research we came to the conclusion that Mitel Networks had got it right. They understand the delivery of traditional voice, which is of paramount importance in terms of features, quality, and reliability. However, Mitel also has tremendous expertise in diverse technology through partnerships and acquisitions. This gives them the credibility in the world of IT and makes their IP solutions very appealing to customers. We are delighted with this partnership which is already paying dividends and will be key to our business' further development."
