PGi, Intelisys Expand Partnership

CHANNEL PARTNERS PGi (Booth #1202 at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo) today announced an expansion of its five-year partnership with master agency Intelisys (Booth #1409). Under the expanded agreement, Intelisys will now sell PGis latest virtual meetings solutions, iMeet and GlobalMeet, to its more than 350 master agents.

Intelisys has been a valued partner to PGi for several years, and it is one of the most respected brands in the channel,” said Ralph Hawkins, senior vice president, PGi Partner channel. Identifying the next generation of collaboration technologies propelled Intelisys to deepen our existing relationship and bring iMeet and GlobalMeet to their base of sales partners.”

Launched in 2011, iMeet and GlobalMeet are PGis latest innovations in online meetings. PGi calls iMeet a fresh approach to video conferencing that gives users their own, personal video meeting room online. The iMeet experience comes without the hassle of software downloads, hardware investments or IT support. GlobalMeet tightly integrates traditional audio and Web conferencing into one complete solution, with no software downloads for meeting guests and a connect me” feature that calls participants automatically, making dial-in numbers and passcodes obsolete.

Using group video technologies like iMeet to host our team meetings strengthens connections and improves business productivity, which is why we want to offer iMeet to our agent base,” said Dana Topping, co-owner of Intelisys.  We also believe that with its market-leading pricing, GlobalMeet is an ideal solution for small businesses looking for a powerful, yet affordable audio and web meeting product.”

PGi says its partner channel is an important, growing part of its global business. Its team is focused on building strategic partnerships with companies like Intelisys to resell and use its suite of meeting technologies.
