Channel Partners, Las Vegas, NV. – Sutus Inc., the company behind the Business Central, a unique device that combines all IT data communications and Telephony features required to run a modern-day office, today announced it has teamed with CommPartners Connect, a  nationwide CLEC certified, facilities based network operator providing VoIP and TDM services to carriers as well as enhanced Hosted Applications to small and medium sized businesses through a network of strategic partners and reseller, to provide a lucrative channel program for VARs reselling its platform.  The program has the potential to deliver up to 16% commission to Sutus resellers who utilize CommPartners Connect voice and network services to activate and connect to the award-winning Sutus Business Central™.  

 

Following the successful completion of interoperability testing of the Sutus platform with the CommPartners Connect network in late 2007, the new channel program gives Sutus resellers the opportunity to bundle the Sutus Business Central platform with CommPartners Connect SIP trunking, broadband access, toll free and other services and earn a monthly recurring commission.  CommPartners Connect service is available throughout the US.

 

The program with CommPartners Connect is the latest in succession of channel successes for Sutus.  The company launched its flagship product – the Business Central – in Q4 of 2007 and has already signed up over thirty channel partners.  As demand for the Sutus Business Central continues to grow, Sutus is looking for additional channel relationships to increase market coverage.

 

The winner of Internet Telephony magazine’s 2007 Product of the Year award, Sutus Business Central™ has removed the final barriers for channel partners looking to develop additional recurring revenue streams in the $3.5 billion telephony, network and productivity sector of the small business market. It has been developed specifically for businesses of up to 25 employees and integrates all essential IT and communications tools a small business needs into a single, easy to use appliance.

 

The Sutus Business Central comprises a wide array of advanced data and networking functions such as: file server, email server, router, firewall, wireless access point, VPN remote access server, automated backups, and a business-class phone system with the ability to simultaneously support both standard phone line and VoIP connections. For service providers, Business Central is not only a gateway for hosted services and long-term monthly recurring revenue, but its remote management features dramatically lower customer support costs and reduce the need for costly onsite visits by support technicians.

 

John Wigboldus, VP Sales and Channel Development of Sutus, commented:  “CommPartners Connect is a highly successful national VoIP provider with a reputation as an excellent IP communications network operator and for being particularly selective with their channel relationships.  It is a strong validation of our product and channel-focused business model that they have teamed with Sutus on this program.”

 

“We are pleased to join with Sutus to offer their existing resellers and new VARS an opportunity the program to join our channel program and earn the attractive commission program that comes when reselling CommPartners Connect services,” said Mark Peterson, EVP, Sales and Marketing at CommPartners Connect.
