Partnering For Success: SMB Opportunities for Resellers
(SMB-04)

Friday - 01/27/06, 2:15-3:00pm

VoIP, once the domain of only large enterprises and, more recently, home consumers, is becoming increasingly attractive to small and medium-sized businesses. As SMBs deploy more complex applications in branch offices and small business locations, it’s no longer a question of if SMBs will adopt VoIP, but rather when they will adopt VoIP. Indeed, the SMB space is still virtually untapped and presents a tremendous opportunity for resellers and service providers. Aimed at resellers who want to increase their share of the SMB market for VoIP, this session will cover selling SMBs on VoIP applications that will help them conduct business more efficiently and more profitably; taking advantage of developments in SMB network architecture, and more.
