Digium® Adds New Partnership Level to Award-Winning Authorized Reseller Program

Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced that it has added an Affiliate partnership level to the company’s Authorized Reseller Partner Program. This new Affiliate level provides an entry-level tier for resellers who are interested in selling Digium Unified Communications and IP Telephony solutions, without a required minimum annual revenue commitment.

Affiliate partners will have access to Digium’s ongoing partner communications, as well as the partner portal, which includes marketing toolkits, videos and sales and technical training. As partners migrate to the higher levels in the program, Registered and Select, Digium provides greater benefits, including discounts, demo kits, sales and marketing support and enhanced technical and sales training. This tiered approach is designed to help partners grow their businesses with Digium’s Switchvox VoIP phone system and Asterisk custom telephony solutions.

“Digium is committed to providing our partners with an easy way to get started in the growing Unified Communications and IP telephony market,” said Jim Butler, Digium’s director of worldwide channel sales. “This new Affiliate level gives us the opportunity to expand and grow our partner base and offer more flexibility within our program. This is the first of many enhancements we are making to our partner program, with our focus on making Digium the first choice for partners interested in growing a profitable business with our award-winning unified communications platform.”

Digium is actively recruiting new partners to join its program. More details can be found at www.digium.com/ucpartner.
