Gamma plays the host

Carrier claims its offering is different to competitors

Richard Bligh: Many resellers are not prepared to deal with two companies

Carrier Gamma Telecom has claimed its hosted IP telephony offering can take away the pain of selling hosted.

Gamma is aiming to offer a comprehensive hosted package and is giving end users and resellers a single point of contact for queries and complaints. The offering includes a Cisco router and a range of Mitel handsets.

Gamma’s group marketing director Richard Bligh said 50 VARs had already been signed up to sell the solution and he wanted to add another 30. “A lot of resellers are not prepared to deal with two companies,” said Bligh.

“What makes our offering different to our competitors’ is that we have completely taken ownership. For data resellers looking to get into hosted telephony, they will want to partner with someone that takes away the pain,” he added.
