Aastra’s first promotion offers a discount on the award-winning Aastra 400 range when displacing technology from a number of competitors including Cisco and Avaya.
In addition to this, Aastra is offering a discount on Aastra 400 when resellers replace an existing Aastra IntelliGate or BusinessPhone (BusinessPhones were originally sold under the Ericsson brand. Aastra acquired the enterprise communication business from Ericsson in 2008).
Alan Reeve, Managing Director of Aastra UK and Ireland, says: “These new promotions will help our resellers to both secure the customers they already have and to win new business. Customers will also benefit from protecting their investment in Aastra’s technology and can enjoy a smooth evolution path for their communications infrastructure. As the leading communications vendor for SMBs in Europe, Aastra is well placed to understand the requirements of today’s SMB when it comes to communications.”
The Aastra 400 series combines a range of Unified Communications and Collaboration applications, mobility solutions and user centric devices into a single solution for small and medium sized businesses. According to research from independent analyst company, MZA, Aastra is Europe’s leading vendor in the SMB market.
US-based research firm Current Analysis has conducted an independent product assessment on the Aastra 400 describing it as “….threatening in the market for SMB communications platforms,” the report highlights the Aastra 400’s ability to challenge other vendors and compete in the enterprise communications market as a Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) solution.
Colin Mann, Head of Marketing, Aastra UK and Ireland comments: “This latest move represents our ongoing commitment to Aastra resellers and is the next step in a series of actions we are taking to develop Aastra’s marketing activity in the UK and Ireland. We are always looking for new ways to help our resellers to grow and become more profitable.”
The promotions will run until 31st December 2012 and full terms are available through Aastra UK.
