Intralan strikes Gold with Avaya

The reseller has been certified as a Gold partner, after years with Silver status

Intralan has been a Silver Partner with Avaya for a number of years, working towards the Gold status

Being certified as an Avaya Gold Partner has capped a good year for Surrey-based reseller Intralan.

The SME-focused VAR was founded as an IT specialist 13 years ago before establishing a telecoms arm in 2003, and the company’s business is now split evenly between the two. It also operates as an internet service provider and recently developed and launched a disaster recovery offering.

Telecoms director Paul Gandar told CRN: “We have been an Avaya Silver Partner and have worked hard towards Gold for a number of years. We are also Gold accredited with Microsoft and having these accreditations from two major players makes a big difference.”

Intralan also recently invested in achieving the Investors in People Standard. “At first we thought it
was just a tick in the box ­ a logo on the letterhead,” said Gandar. “But we realise there is a lot of value to it. We now have much higher retention of staff, which has been fantastic.”
