Business Wire
Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of
network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services, today
announced the launch of its Premier Agent Program. Switch and Data
designed this program to meet the needs of master agents looking to
establish closer ties between themselves, their agent partners and
the company to leverage its industry-leading data centers to meet
customers’ infrastructure availability and colocation requirements.
World Telecom Group (WTG), a leading master agent known for
providing exceptional service to its agent partners, will be Switch
and Data’s first Premier Agent.
Founded in 1996, World Telecom Group has one of the most diverse
portfolios in the industry, including local, long-distance, data,
Internet and associated equipment. WTG has expanded its
relationship with Switch and Data to help its agent partners
colocate their customers’ infrastructure with industry-leading data
center services in ways that address many partners’ most urgent
challenges. These include improving margins with new recurring
revenue streams, solidifying customer relationships in a highly
competitive environment and avoiding outages and downtime which can
threaten customer relationships.
"Through this dynamic partnership, our Agent Partners now have
access to Switch and Data's competitive and scalable colocation
solutions for their end users,” said Vince Bradley, CEO, World
Telecom Group. “This joint effort continues to solidify WTG as the
most diverse Master Agent in the industry.”
The Alliance Partners Practice’s Premier Partners Program is
another example of Switch and Data’s continued commitment to the
channel. The Program directly addresses commission concerns
surrounding increasing revenue and margins in today’s environment
of tight IT budgets. Premier Agents and their agent partners
receive reliable commissions for the term of the contract, as well
as dedicated channel managers, enhanced technical and systems
support and competitive residual monthly commissions.
“WTG has taken a leadership position by joining our Premier
Agent Program, and we are excited to support WTG and their large
network of partners,” said Joe Mileo, Vice President Indirect
Channels, Switch and Data. “As a Premier Agent, WTG will not only
provide a leading colocation solution, but now they can ensure
commission payments for all sales made by their sub-agents.”
As part of its Alliance Partners’ Practice growth strategy,
Switch and Data’s Premier Agent Program hopes to engage the
industry’s sought-after solution providers and master agents.
