Carousel Industries Earns Platinum Status in Polycom Choice Partner Program and Is Recognized as System Integrator of the Year in North America
EXETER, RI, Apr 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Carousel Industries, a leader in data networking and converged
communications, announced that it has been named by Polycom, the
global leader in standards-based communications (UC), as a Platinum
Level Polycom Choice Partner. Separately, Carousel was also
recognized as System Integrator of the Year in North America during
Polycom's TEAM Polycom Partner Awards, which were held in Orlando, FL
last week.
The Platinum Level designation indicates that Carousel Industries has
made the investments in its technical expertise and go-to-market
capabilities required to address the complex needs of today's UC
customers. Platinum Level Polycom Choice Partners also must have met
the program's exacting standards, including achieving and maintaining
specialization in multiple areas. The TEAM Polycom Partner Awards,
meanwhile, recognize partners that have demonstrated business
excellence in selling Polycom's award winning solutions and services
over the past year. Award recipients must demonstrate outstanding
customer impact, solution innovation and effective implementation of
Polycom solutions in their customer engagements.
"We have worked very hard to achieve the Platinum status within
Polycom and are also honored to have been named System Integrator of
the Year," said James Marsh, senior vice president, Carousel
Industries. "The relationship we have with Polycom is integral to our
visual communication and collaboration strategy and will be a key
contributor to our success within our video practice. Polycom shares
the same business values and partnership ideals as we do at Carousel.
We look forward to a long and successful relationship."
Carousel joins an elite few partners in North America that have
provided the commitment and revenue growth required to be at the
highest end of the Polycom Choice spectrum of partners. With a unique
value proposition that includes unified communications, audio/video
and visual communications design and integration expertise, Carousel
has positioned itself as a leader in unified communications and video
solutions in North America. Only about a dozen Polycom partners in
North America meet the stringent requirements to become
Platinum-recognized. Carousel exceeded Polycom's requirements,
earning Platinum status just days before being named 2012 Polycom
System Integrator of the Year at the TEAM Polycom 2012 conference.
"The Polycom Choice Partner Program gives customers the confidence
that, by choosing Carousel and Polycom, they're selecting a
world-class team to help them design and implement a world-class UC
solution," said Ron Myers, senior vice president, Global Channels at
Polycom. "By collaborating with Polycom as a Platinum Level Choice
Partner, Carousel can deliver UC solutions that power greater
productivity and smarter conversations, transforming lives and
businesses in the process."
Winner of CRN Magazine's 5-Star Partner Program Award, Polycom's
Choice Partner Program emphasizes skills development, specialization,
and other value added activities that help partners support the needs
of their customers and improve the customer experience. For more
