AltiGen Applauds Boport Tele-Communication BV as European Distributor of the Year

AltiGen Communications, Inc., a provider of VoIP business phone systems and Microsoft (News - Alert)-based unified communications solutions for small- to medium-size businesses, has announced Boport Tele-Communication BV as AltiGen’s 2009 European distributor of the year.

 

Boport Tele-Communication BV is a well-known distributor of communications products and services in the Benelux countries including Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

 

In an effort to increase their European market presence, in 2008, AltiGen (News - Alert) forged a master distribution agreement with Boport Tele-Communication BV.  In order to quickly ramp up and support new AltiGen resellers, Boport committed to offer their channel partners specialized sales, marketing and technical training. All the efforts of Boport were met with great success; and now it has 52 resellers offering the AltiGen solution.

 

“We are more than honored,”said Jeroen Andre de la Porte, CEO of Boport Tele-communication. “We market the AltiGen proposition under our new Boport division, AltiGen Benelux, and have appointed over 50 resellers in record time. The AltiGen proposition is fully featured and separates itself from the rest by offering non-proprietary, software-based solutions that seamlessly integrate with any existing IT infrastructure. The software-based proposition is easy to understand for resellers and adds value in more ways than one. Recently, Telecom Services BV joined our reseller network with offices in Amsterdam and Almelo. The first system was sold within 48 hours from signing the contract.”

 

“We are proud to announce Boport as our 2009 European distributor of the year,”Jerry Fleming, president and COO of AltiGen, said. “The success Boport is experiencing with sales and resellers attests to the strength of our strong value proposition of software-based Microsoft UC solutions not only in the United States, but in the European market as well. Boport has been, and will continue to be, a foundation for AltiGen’s success throughout the Benelux region.”

 

In related news, AltiGen Communications announced that it has added Metro Communication Services to its growing reseller network.
