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

[Crystal Adamson]

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
