[asterisk-biz] Dealing with Polycom (becoming certified) in Canada

[Mike Hammett]

I have a customer that has Snom phones and I have a customer that has
Polycom phones.  The Snom phones aren't bad, but I have fewer support calls
with the Polycom ones.  Maybe it's the customers, maybe it's the gear.

You should also try snom phones, very good product line with their new added
370. Very good prices, in comparision.

 

FYI

I'm not sure if this is quit what you were asking, but, before you can
resell Polycom you have to get certified on their products. It's not very
difficult. It's just a little test you take after watching some slideshows.
Anyway, I am a sales associate at NETXUSA, Inc. We are distributors of
Polycom just to name one and if you are looking for a distributor to deal
with take a look at our website. You could go to our website and sign up
with us. We are distributors of Polycom, Digium, and Edgewater, just to name
a few. 

 

Thank you,

Hi,

 

I've made a very bad decision in the past: I've standardized on Polycom VoIP
phones.  Technically, they are good phones.  But from a VAR point of view,
the company itself is a problem to work with (as some of you know).  

 

One of the requirements to become a certified Polycom reseller is to have
authorization from a technology partner.  Now, given that I plug Polycoms on
my home-grown Hosted PBX largely based on Asterisk open-source, and that I
don`t resell any of those technology partner's products, I doubt they will
even talk to me.  Digium is a partner though, who should I be talking to? 

 

I am guessing Digium wants to encourage people using their stuff and their
partners', and maybe they`ll actually rubber-stamp this....Or maybe I`m just
an optimist. 

 

Any other tips on dealing with Polycom as someone who wants to be a
certified reseller?

 

Mike
