OTTAWA, June 19, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Natural Convergence Inc. (NCI), a supplier of hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) software, is pleased to announce that their customer WVT Communications has achieved 'Production 200' status in record time. WVT Communications selected the company's silhouette hosted key system to deliver a superior solution for their small business customers.
"We have exceeded our original ramp up budget. WVT's sales team is closing more deals, more quickly, because of the value our customers see in the silhouette hosted key system," says Duane Albro, President and CEO of WVT Communications. "We've been impressed with how simple it was to make this turnkey application operational while at the same time we migrate to a softswitch infrastructure."
'Production 200' status is achieved by service providers once they have reached the 200 licenses-in-use mark. On average this represents a dozen small businesses - sold, installed and generating revenue for the service provider. These service providers have a repeatable, scalable business model with the deployment and processes in place to support on-going growth.
"One thing that clearly set WVT apart was their determination to nail the sales model at the same time their engineering team fast-tracked the system deployment," says David Cork, CEO of Natural Convergence. "We like to think that we helped on the sales process side with our channel marketing program, flashpoint - which we have been refining since its inception almost two years ago."
The flashpoint Channel Marketing Program helps service providers to shorten sales cycles and increase revenues. Natural Convergence has elevated vendor support by productizing a channel marketing program with the end goal of helping their customers sell faster.
