snom launches Certified Engineer programme for resellers

IP telephony training centre to help IT and telecoms VARs assist customers in making transition to IP

London, UK, 6 January 2011 - snom UK, a provider of IP telephony solutions, has announced the launch of the snom Certified Engineer programme (SCE).  The course will provide telecoms and IT resellers with the training they need to understand and sell IP telephony solutions effectively.

The SCE programme, which will be based at snom’s dedicated UK training centre in Leeds, has been established in response to major demand from telecom and IT resellers for more information on how best to approach the IP market. The extensive educational programme will provide resellers and integrators with best practice guidelines for end users on how to make the transition from traditional telecoms to IP. Resellers who become a certified partner will receive a discount on all snom products as well as direct information on channel events and promotions.

Jonathan Greenwood, Managing Director of snom UK, commented, “Migration to IP is the future as far as the telecom market is concerned and it’s imperative that telecoms and IT resellers are provided with the know-how on how to communicate the benefits of IP to end users effectively. The SCE programme is something that nobody else is offering in the telecoms market and has been carefully designed to deliver valuable, measurable rewards to those who take part in the training scheme.”

The establishment of the SCE programme in the UK follows the success of the scheme in Italy, which provided training for 110 reseller companies. It represents a further demonstration of snom’s commitment to the UK market, and builds on snom’s recent acquisition of IP-PBX solutions provider pbxnsip.
