Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has signed a pan-European distribution deal with Talksoon for its communications solutions.
Talksoon is marketing the vendor’s Rainbow Office platform as a master broker. Rainbow Office is powered by RingCentral technology.
Talksoon uses certified trusted business advisors (TBAs) to identify a potential client's specific communications needs to find the right solution. The TBAs/sub-brokers are responsible for the client relationship and are the central point of contact.
Talksoon actively supports the sub-brokers throughout the sales and project lifecycle. The Alcatel-Lucent partnership is expanding throughout Europe and already includes TBAs Nuvola and PMS Networks in the UK; Vanquish in Germany and Austria; ESSEC, Netsite and Premium Plus in Belgium; and Axians and Cloud Avenue in the Netherlands.
Danny Waardenburg, responsible for business development at Talksoon, said: "We look forward to jointly generating new business and offering our customers tailored Rainbow Office solutions with unified communications as-a-service."
Gert Jonk, senior vice president of the EMEA region at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, added: “Working with Talksoon throughout Europe will add great value to small- and medium-sized businesses. Many of them now want to implement digital transformation in their operations as well, but need consulting, qualified services and support to do so.”
