Intelisys Featured In CRN’S Annual Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide
Intelisys recognized for its leadership in enabling and educating channel partners as the IT/telecom industries converge.

Petaluma, CA, July 27, 2015 – Intelisys Communications, Inc., the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor, announced today it has been featured in The Channel Company’s prestigious CRN® 2015 Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide (PPG), which recognizes the service providers and technology vendors whose proven offerings provide the secure network connectivity solutions required by today’s digital marketplace. Critical partnerships between IT solution providers and the telecom industry’s master agents and voice and ISPs are needed now more than ever as customers demand a single provider for their voice, data and Internet needs. The leading companies recognized in this list are building the bridges to facilitate IT-telecom convergence and bringing together the many moving parts involved.
As a Technology Services Distributor (Master Agent), Intelisys currently has contractual partnerships with more than 50 leading Network Connectivity vendors, providing C-level access to an extensive lineup of vendor Network and Connectivity solutions to its Sales Partner community. Intelisys has carefully designed Sales Partner programs and benefits to rival and exceed those offered via direct carrier relationships. As customers demand a single provider, channel sales professionals benefit from the ability to vet and present a selection of best-suited supplier options and a one-stop resource for contracts and commissions. What sets Intelisys apart, however, is the added benefits offered to its Sales Partners, such as:

  1. Partner Investment Program: Intelisys has loaned more than $3.6M to its Sales Partners to help them expand their businesses.
  2. Advanced Commissions Program: Perfect for direct reps entering the agent world, Sales Partners can rely on commissions paid within 15 days of acceptance.
  3. Supplier Agnostic Cloud & Complex Bids Pre-Sales, Technical & Engineering Support.
  4. Intelisys Cloud Services University: Providing self-paced education and certification to channel sales professionals.
  5. Marketing ToolKit: Free, online marketing and event planning resources for Sales Partners.
  6. Club TPC: Members get direct access to Intelisys leadership for coaching and mentoring, as well as resources in business strategy and planning, finance, marketing, sales and more.
  7. Stability: 100% channel-focused, Intelisys never competes with its Sales Partners. On-timecommissions paid, without exception, since Intelisys was launched in 1994.

“It is a privilege to be recognized by CRN in the 2015 Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide,” said Jay Bradley, President of Intelisys. “We owe our success to our Intelisys Sales Partner community, and everything we do, every program we put in place, is for them. We have some exciting plans to roll out even more Partner Program benefits and services, as we look ahead through the end of 2015 and into 2016.”
“As network solution providers continue to expand their offerings to include cloud and connectivity services, telecom agents and ISPs are focusing their efforts on finding new customers in the IT channel,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “As a result, the IT industry is continuing to converge and once-dissimilar types of solution and service providers are becoming more synergistic to meet customer demand. The CRN Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide facilitates this new provider ecosystem by connecting like-minded organizations in order to establish relationships and partner services that can address customer needs.”

The Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide will be featured in the August issue of CRN, the top news source for solution providers and the IT channel, and will be available online at CRN.com.
