2008 The Turning Point in IP Communications!
I trust everyone had a great Holiday and is ready for an unbelievable 2008!
Wow! What an exciting past year. IP Telephony is truly booming and most customers now know their next phone system will be IP based!I want to assure you that ABP is 100% committed to your success in the Opens Standards Vendor Independent space – The future of IP communications! For ABP Resellers this year we see much faster growth, better margins and more realistic price levels. Both vendors and other resellers are learning to focus more on the true benefits and advantages and less on price.
We are kicking the year off with three key revenue generators for ABP Partners:
First an exciting new product announcement. As of January 1st ABP added Switchvox to our IP PBX portfolio. Our resellers can now sell an incredibly powerful and robust solution to larger companies. Switchvox is Digium’s latest acquisition. Switchvox a very well rounded, robust IP PBX for 4-400 users that is feature rich and includes productivity enhancers that make it a winner when customers see it. Switchvox is commercial grade meaning less time to deploy with a much lower cost-per-seat and a more direct competitor to traditional PBXs.
For the resellers looking for additional revenue streams, we added an IP Services group to help you sell both connectivity and SIP trunks. We can help you get monthly residual income to complement your hardware and services income. Using our IP Services group will ensure that you have pre-tested solutions and partners that have an excellent track record for service and commission payment. Lastly, we introduced new IP peripherals to help you create new revenues.
Our resellers are excited about ABP’s new IP Surveillance and paging solutions. Security is one of the most fundamental human needs. Every business can use IP cameras as a deterrent to protect their personnel and property. There are many other benefits from an intelligent surveillance system that provides mega pixel HD video and two-way audio. Resellers are the key to effectively implementing the new intelligent IP cameras where each camera is a stand-alone Linux system that actually processes rules and makes intelligent decisions 24-7-365.
We are very optimistic and excited about IP communications prospects in 2008 and look forward to a great year together.All the best for a safe, prosperous New Year!
