Unified Communication-as-a-Service (UCaaS) provider Access4 has announced that it has appointed Virtual IT Group (VITG) as a Diamond++ Partner.
The appointment follows VITG’s recent acquisitions of Access4 partners Ittelligent and Powernet.
“In recent months, we have consolidated our vendor partners as a key business strategy moving into 2024,” says Chris Troncone, Chief Customer Officer, VITG.
“We previously provided cloud telephony solutions from 8x8, RingCentral and Microsoft Teams via two telecommunications providers. With the acquisition of Ittelligent in 2021, VITG became an Access4 partner, and subsequently acquiring Powernet, also an Access4 partner, we now have a great opportunity to further consolidate our key offerings in the voice, cloud telephony and UCaaS areas.”
“Indeed, Access4 is our UCaaS go-to-market offering which we have recently been able to productise. Not only is it easy to sell and simple to deploy, but Access4 has a dedicated porting department which further takes the pain away from porting customer numbers as the Access4 team handles all porting intricacies, including fast porting options, simplifying the whole process for us.”
Access4's proprietary OSS/BSS platform, SASBOSS, is designed to facilitate quoting and provisioning of cloud-based voice solutions, allowing MSPs to concentrate on their customer experience. The proprietary platform streamlines service processes, cutting costs, and simplifying billing.
Its pitch is that by using SASBOSS, pre-sales teams can optimise efficiency, negating the necessity for extra technical resources, and benefiting from Access4's expertise in delivering Unified Communications support.
Peter Eldon, Director of Sales and Marketing, Access4, said, “VITG is a significant player in the MSP space with a true national sales team. They are one of the largest and most reputable managed services players in the country and have a considerable base of long- established customer relationships.
“We’re looking forward to working with VITG to provide even more value to their existing customers as well as support for generating recurring revenue with new greenfield opportunities.”
Access4 Diamond++ Partners enjoy the highest level of support and incentives, as well as VIP access to sales support, marketing support, and premium technical support, including complementary access to annual events such as the Access4 Annual Partner Conference.=
