Broadview Networks, at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Miami, introduced the company to new potential partners and signed new agency agreements.

The company was also recognized as a top 50 channel program and received awards for show-related efforts.

The expo established company’s OfficeSuite service nationwide. Broadview developed its nationwide offering with partners and customers.

Broadview’s OfficeSuite service is a hosted IP phone solution that provides small- and medium-sized businesses with an enterprise-grade phone system and service.

The solution includes phones and all the network services that support the voice services. OfficeSuite also offers various options for Internet access and private data networking.

Broadview hosts the phone system within the company’s own IP network, with only the actual phones located in the customer’s offices.

Also, Broadview’s Agent Partner Program was honored as a top 50 channel program by PHONE+ magazine, as determined by nearly 1,000 indirect sales partners. Broadview also won the Best Trade Show Promotion award.

“Broadview has built a successful relationship with agents through excellent product offerings, a robust back office, a world-class billing system, in-depth training programs and incentive programs for top sales agents such as our annual Ambassador’s Club trip,” explained Chris Eldredge, executive vice president of alternate channels and carrier sales for Broadview Networks (News - Alert), in a release. “The company has a rich tradition of successfully serving our partners and their customers and we look forward to working with agents nationwide who see the value in our services.”


Roy Malone, chief executive officer for Michigan-based GLS Communications, said “For me, seeing is believing.”

“After Broadview walked me through the OfficeSuite service and the Agent Partner Program, it was immediately clear there was a fit. My customers rely on us for real solutions to business challenges and we know OfficeSuite will deliver,” he said. “Having a nationwide communications system that has all the features customers requires and the quality businesses rely on will help GLS Communications meet our customers’ evolving needs.”
