Master Agent Featured Articles

A streamlined approach to connectivity means more than just adopting unified communications or putting all users on the same plan. For a number of companies, it also means turning to a master agent to ensure support and service is managed through a single point of contact. Now one master agent is getting some well-deserved attention.

Telarus (News - Alert) has announced its inclusion in the CRN 2014 Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide, a publication that highlights the technology vendors and service providers delivering the technology necessary to support today’s mission-critical network connectivity solutions.

Master agents, voice and Internet service providers (ISPs) and IT solution providers are all developing deep partnerships as customers seek single support and services in data, voice and Internet. CRN’s guide has grown into a critical resource that enables solution providers to easily locate vendors offering complementary services and solutions.

This is the second time Telarus has won this award, an acknowledgment that points to the value the company brings to the industry and those interacting along the same channels. The master agent demonstrates consistent commitment to helping the VAR channel successfully participate in the managed services and telecom space.

"This award is huge recognition for our company," said David Bashford, president of Telarus in a press release. "We work very hard to make telecommunication carrier sales easy for equipment and IP networking VARs through our proprietary real-time quote technology and in-house CRM tool. Allowing our VAR partners instant access to complex carrier pricing information has allowed them to succeed in an area of business that instantly adds to their bottom lines."

The IT channel is becoming a popular destination for telecom agents and ISPs as network solution providers continue to expand their businesses to deliver the connectivity and cloud services customers demand. This channel offers an additional source of revenue and a path to a whole new pipeline of clients.

As the IT industry continues to evolve, transforming from two disparate solution and service providers into one, partners able to identify and connect organizations with the right strategies and solutions are in high demand. Telarus is meeting this demand through its master agent solutions, delivering the right offerings to the right companies at the right time.

In addition to this nod from CRN, Telarus has also been named the top master agent by the members of the Telecom Association (News - Alert) each year since 2009. The company continues to garner third-party recognition for its approach to the market and the value added in the partnerships it builds throughout the community.
