NMS Communications Announces the NMS Partner Network

NMS Communications today unveiled the NMS Partner Network, a new partner program aimed at enhancing new product innovation, broadening efficient support services to customers and growing the company’s global sales channel. The network establishes a community of technology and channel partners working together to further the development and adoption of both traditional and new value-added services. These services range from voicemail and audio conferencing to self-service speech automation interactive voice response (IVR) systems, ringback tones, voice short message service (SMS), and interactive mobile video. The NMS Partner Network is designed for two types of NMS partners: technology partners, known as Telecom Innovators; and channel partners. Telecom Innovators include systems integrators, who develop and manage services on NMS technology for enterprises and service providers; telecommunications equipment providers, whose products interoperate within an NMS technology environment; and solutions developers, who design in NMS technology as an integral part of their applications and systems. "At Vicorp, we recognize that successful partnerships are based not only on complementary products, but also on the shared values of driving technology innovation and market adoption,” said Vicorp Vice President, Alliances Craig Ashmole. "NMS has been an excellent partner, working with us on joint marketing ideas and programs to promote the benefits of using service creation tools for speech, multimedia and tone-enabled self-service applications.” Channel partners will act as value-added resellers offering NMS Communications’ Open Access™ media processing and signaling boards and software and the Vision family of video, audio and signaling servers and gateways. "Integrys shares many of the same goals of our long-time partner NMS – providing products and services that help our customers solve time-to-market, technology and support issues,” said Integrys President Brian Flippance. "As members of the new NMS Partner Network, we’re excited about taking advantage of this program which gives us an additional marketing and networking outlet to help us find new opportunities and continue to grow our revenues.” Elisa Mancassola, General Manager of Redco S.p.A, a longstanding NMS partner based in Milan, Italy, said, "It’s essential to Redco’s continued success that we choose partners with not only the best technology, but also ones that share our commitment to true partnership and collaboration. The NMS Partner Network gives us an effective marketing platform, as well as access to experienced NMS managers with sales and business operations expertise to help us grow our business.” NMS Partner Network members will enjoy a variety of benefits including: increased market visibility, including regional market awareness and representation on the NMS Web site; collaboration on application development technologies; shared leads and referrals with NMS and other partners; and, more informed technology insights from Telecom Innovators News, a monthly publication from NMS that discusses technology trends, the telecom industry’s direction and innovation on the horizon.
