CHICAGO, Ill.—January 24, 2017  AVANT starts 2017 with an expanded list of SD-WAN providers and a significant commitment to partners to support the need for SD-WAN services. This portfolio of partners places AVANT, a leader in sales enablement and distribution of next generation IT services, squarely in the middle of one of the fasting growing IT cloud segments in the market with the broadest portfolio of SD-WAN leaders in the industry.

We’re excited to announce that AVANT veteran Lily Weibel has been promoted to Director, Partner Relations and Marketing. Lily has been with AVANT for over six years, playing a number of critical roles within our organization and is a consistent fixture among our partner community. In her new role, Lily will focus on building awareness about AVANT within the partner and vendor community at large, and delivering more value to our existing partners through increased communication about AVANT tools, resources, vendors, events, and more.

In today’s fast-paced business world, the notion of “working together” to accomplish things is more important than ever. We’re all familiar with this somewhat Silicon Valley-fied notion of collaborative working, and despite my company bias towards such a phenomenon, one cannot argue that it isn’t applicable to enterprise workforces today.

Just when you thought our robust portfolio of leading UC vendors couldn’t get any better, it did. Now, partners can gain access to every Magic Quadrant leader in the UC space, including the most recent addition, RingCentral.

 

A lot of exciting new things happened at this year’s Channel Partners for us! This year was the biggest and best Channel Partners show in recent memory, maybe ever, and we are thrilled to have made a big splash. Even amongst the Tesla's, tricked out Jeeps, and ex-NBA stars, AVANT managed to steal the buzz on the show floor.

AVANT has grown to become the largest and fastest growing aggregator of Cisco Powered cloud services. What’s a cloud aggregator? AVANT works with more than 70 solution providers around the world to bring their cloud solutions to market; then they help the channel partners sell those cloud services more effectively.

Many partners (VARs, MSPs and agents) fall into the common trap of working too much in their business and not enough on their business.  Working in the business means putting out fires, making sales calls and managing employees.  Working on the business is taking the time to assess your current situation, and the changing marketplace around you, and developing strategies to help your business match the changing demands of the market.

PHOENIX – Sept 8, 2014 – Channel Partners , a resource for indirect sales channels offering IT and telecom solutions, is pleased to announce that AVANT Communications has been selected as a winner of the 2014 Cloudys Cloud Channel Innovation Awards.
