Telecom agency & consulting firm named 8th Intelisys Platinum Partner
Petaluma, CA (August 24, 2015) – Intelisys Communications, Inc., the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor, announced RDS Solutions as its eighth Sales Partner to achieve $1 million in monthly recurring billings and be named a Platinum Partner. Intelisys will forevermore recognize August 24 as RDS Solutions Day.
RDS Solutions’ owners, J.R. Vernick and Darren Jones, were awarded an all expenses paid “Trip to Anywhere in the World” by Intelisys VP, Partner Sales & Business Development, Rick Ribas at RDS Solutions headquarters in Clinton, New Jersey.
“It’s a tremendous honor to reward RDS Solutions with a Platinum partnership,” commented Rick Ribas. “Intelisys Sales Partners are, by nature, top performers. Despite this, only a handful have succeeded in achieving $1 million in monthly recurring revenue. RDS stands for ‘Respond, Deliver, Support’, and the commitment they show to these objectives is staggering. Platinum is only the beginning.”

Vernick, President of RDS Solutions. “RDS’s core principles are embedded in our name.

“I support more than 500 Sales Partners in my region, and the RDS team stands out for the level of professionalism and integrity they display at all times, as well as a desire to always put their customers’ best interests first,” said Justin Marano, Northeast Region Director of Partner Sales for Intelisys. “I congratulate Darren Jones, J.R. Vernick, and the entire RDS Solutions team on this milestone, and looking forward to celebrating many more wins together.”
Intelisys named its first Platinum Partner, NetSource Group, in 2011. In 2015 it issued a new challenge to Sales Partners: Be the first to achieve $5 million in monthly recurring revenue and receive a check for $1 million. As Sales Partners strive to meet that goal, many new milestones, such as Double Platinum and beyond, will be celebrated.
