This partnership will add Sangoma’s NetBorder Lync Express, the only All-In-One Lync Server appliance with built-in Gateway/ SIP Connectivity, to Ingram Micro’s growing portfolio of products and services in support of Microsoft LyncTM. Lync Express provides a practical and affordable solution to deliver fully featured Lync deployments of up to 500 seats.
Ingram Micro has developed a unique bundle around Lync Express including an on-boarding tool for new resellers wishing to learn about deploying Lync, with training and professional services options.
In addition to Lync Express, Ingram Micro will also bring Sangoma’s VoIP Media Gateway and Session Border Controllers in to the rapidly growing SIP Market.
Jon Bunyard, Director of the Advanced Solutions UK Division at Ingram Micro commented: “The addition of Sangoma to our vendor lineup, combined with the compelling proposition we are developing through our partnerships with ShoreTel, Microsoft LyncTM, Cisco, OAISYS and Jabra, lends significant weight to our value proposition in the Unified Communications space.
“We consider UC a growing market and will be showcasing our existing vendor ecosystem at this month’s Convergence Summit North in Manchester where we look forward to talking to resellers about the opportunities these partnerships represent in the voice space,” Jon concluded.
Bill Wignall, CEO and President of Sangoma said: “We are very pleased that Ingram Micro has chosen to work with Sangoma. Over the past year, we have continued to grow our worldwide footprint, with a variety of highly innovative new products targeted at customers that provide more advanced solutions to both the Carrier and Enterprise markets, including the Lync ecosystem.
“Ingram Micro is highly respected around the globe and exactly the kind of partner Sangoma needs in order to continue our growth and help us expand our leadership in the Lync connectivity market,” Bill added.
