NTT America, the
wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT
Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the information and
communications technology (ICT) solutions business within NTT (NYSE:NTT),
today announced that its Global Solutions (GS) and Data Center Services
(DCS) Business Unit will officially launch the NTT America Global
Solutions Channel Partner Program at Cloud Partners 2014. This indirect
program enables qualified U.S. channel partners and referral partners to
sell NTT America’s entire suite of domestic and international ICT
solutions. Cloud
Partners 2014, a Channel Partners event, will take place Sept. 8-10
at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The NTT America booth
number is 628.
The NTT America Global
Solutions Channel Partner Program is designed to meet the needs of
channel partners who want to expand their enterprise, global and cloud
capabilities. It leverages growing interest among master agents,
distributors, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), System Integrators
(SIs), and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) in finding providers with deep
ICT expertise. It also leverages increased customer willingness to work
with trusted advisors in navigating cloud, IP, data center and related
technology decisions.
NTT America’s Global Solutions Channel Partner Program presents the
channel community with a fully integrated solution set – cloud, IP and
data center services – and offers the ease of working with one provider.
“We believe the integrated solution of our new Channel Partner Program
will appeal to channel partners already serving as trusted cloud and
data center advisors for mid-market and enterprise customers, and to any
organizations aiming to include those services and technologies in their
portfolio,” said NTT America Vice President and General Manager,
Indirect Global Solutions, Rob Westervelt.
With the new NTT America Global Solutions Channel Partner Program,
agents who sign up will be able to sell all of NTT America’s products
and services, including cloud computing, hosting, colocation, IP,
Arcstar Universal One™ private network, MPLS, security and more. They
will also receive additional pre-sales, engineering and post-sales
support. “This program provides channel partners with dedicated
resources from a team with extensive technology, channel and strategic
partnership experience – while being backed by NTT’s global reach and
financial stability as one of the top
three telecom companies in the world,” said Westervelt.
Westervelt and NTT America Director of Strategy and Marketing, Indirect
Global Solutions, Kevin Goodman will be available to explain the terms
and conditions, including residual-based payouts, of this
partner-friendly initiative to the media and other interested parties at
Cloud Partners 2014. Master agents are invited to stop by booth number
628 to schedule a meeting with NTT America’s Channel Partner team at
Cloud Partners 2014 or after the event. Qualified channel partners will
also be able to sign up for the new indirect program at www.us.ntt.com/partners/
on Sept. 8, 2014.
NTT America will share its booth at Cloud Partners with Arkadin, the
fast-growing Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) services
provider that NTT
Communications acquired in January 2014. Arkadin solutions are also
included in the integrated solution set that channel partners may sell
under the new NTT America Channel Partner Program. At the time of
acquisition, Arkadin was the world’s third-largest provider of
collaboration solutions for audio, web, video conferencing and unified
communications (UC) and was serving approximately 37,000 customers in 32
countries, including France, Germany, U.K., U.S., Australia, China,
Singapore and Japan.
NTT America’s Global
IP Network Channel Partners Program, which launched ten years ago,
remains intact. NTT America’s Global IP Network Channel Partners Program
enables qualified channel partners to sell NTT America’s domestic and
international IP and data solutions to Internet-centric businesses
including Internet service providers (ISPs), content-oriented companies,
and hosting providers.
