The partnership allows Frontier Voice and Data to offer Cisco’s product portfolio to the channel. The partnership between the two companies means that Frontier’s network of channel partners can sell = Cisco’s enterprise communications systems and unified communications solutions in accompaniment with Frontier’s MyIP hosted telephony service and MyNet data connectivity, and can therefore provide customers with a complete telephony and networking solution. Cisco’s switches and routers will also be sold as part of Frontier’s MyNet service.
Frontier can also provide Cisco products with flexible payment arrangements thanks to Cisco’s Capital EasyLease 0% financing option, which allows small to medium sized businesses to spread payments over a period of up= to 36 months if necessary, affordably managing the cost of updating equipment.
The new partnership forms part of Frontier’s launch of its MyFrontier product portfolio which includes a range of services such as hosted, mobile and data in addition to voice minutes.
Commenting on the new partnership between Frontier and Cisco, Andy Brocklehurst, UK Lead for Small Business and Distribution at Cisco said, “Michael Thornton and his team at Frontier offer Cisco the insight and solutions for Small and Medium businesses in the UK that is so critical to our success and, as such, are a major part of our strategy. We are confident that this strategic partnership will drive growth for both companies.”
Michael Thornton, Sales & Marketing Director said, “We already offer our channel partners stability, flexibility, a generous profit share model and outstanding technical support. Thanks to this partnership, our channel partners can now offer Cisco’s market leading enterprise communications equipment with flexible financing options as part of their offering to customers. We all know that attractive finance packages can make a sale so I have no doubt this will increase revenue for our partners even further. I challenge the channel to come and talk with me to discover how the combination of our MyFrontier product wrap and support will create opportunities for growth.”
