Its regional offices and systems-integrator partners can offer SMBs local support during the critical transition phase to SIP and unified communications" says Roland Leocadio, Sales Director France and Iberia.
Patton selected the Alliance-Com group as a new distributor because of its leadership position in the French enterprise-voice market because of key partnerships with Alcatel-Lucent and Mitel and its ability to offer real technical and commercial added-value to its customers.
