A new company, The Telecom Broker, is now offering value-added resellers (VARs) access to its "Brokerage Basis" Internet and wide area network (WAN) design services free of cost.

 

The Telecom Broker aims to replace the options of working with engineering firms, expensive consultants, or telecom provider, IT Reseller Online said in a report. The Telecom Broker is paid on commission basis and the bills only after implementation successfully completed.

 

“Previously most multi-location small and mid sized businesses had limited options in obtaining independently designed Wide Area Networks, or help understanding VoIP and Internet access best practices,” said Curtis Burnside, CCNA of The Telecom Broker, in the IT Reseller Online report. “Now The Telecom Broker does this work for these customers on a national basis and without cost.”

 

Businesses can now get an independent, vendor-agnostic professional to design the network and give them needed telecom advice, before the carrier becomes involved.

 

“This way, they get the network they need designed up front, then it's priced out on a bidding basis, to assure the customer gets the best value,” Burnside said in the report.

The  employees of Telecom Broker are Certified Network Consultants, and most of them are ex-employees of carriers, IT Reseller Online said. The Telecom Broker recruits and works through VARs, mainly network integrators and telecom interconnect companies.

With access to professional design services and new initiatives, it is easier for VARs and equipment manufacturers to convince customer. A robust, low latency network design assures the highest voice quality.

“We provide a turnkey design and sales process for the VAR marketplace. We know the telecom network piece is not their core competency and pay a lucrative commission for their referrals to us,” said Burnside, who is experienced in the area of the telecom marketplace designing and managing agent-based partner programs for companies.
