Wick Hill nurtures Oak partnership

Value-added distributor adds another brick to its voice and data wall with latest signing

Shaking on it: The deal demonstrates a commitment to the converged market, Wick Hill claims

Wick Hill is building out its converged voice and data division by signing a distribution partnership with comms vendor Oak.

Under the terms of the deal, Wick Hill will supply Oak’s Comms Suite solution – which encompasses call logging, call recording, CTI and wallboard applications – to its reseller base.

Siobhan Gibbs, business development manager at Wick Hill, said: “Our appointment as an Oak distributor gives Wick Hill resellers a fantastic opportunity to work with their existing clients to provide voice applications across the network, with and without the need to upgrade their core telephony platforms.

“They will be able to forge relationships with customers on voice provision and business applications, further supporting customer retention."

Gibbs added: “This agreement demonstrates Wick Hill’s ongoing investment and success in the converged voice and data market. It will further enhance the ability of Wick Hill resellers to deliver entire business technology solutions to their customer base.”

Philip Reynolds, joint chief executive of Oak, said: “We are really pleased to appoint Wick Hill. It truly recognises convergence and is delivering this through its expanding portfolio. This is a very exciting time for both our companies, as real business benefits are delivered to end users as a result of convergence.”
