Tradewinds Brokerage adds Cato Networks to vendor stack
Summary
“Many enterprises are deploying SD-WAN to assure highest-levels of quality of service and availability, and we are excited our partners will be able to offer this to their customers," Tradewinds A/NZ regional vice president and head of channels Tony Heywood said. In December, the distributor became a master agent for unified communications vendor, Mitel across Australia and New Zealand, offering its MiCloud Connect solution to accelerate customers’ migration to the cloud. With a specific focus on cloud, contact centre and unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS), the Tradewinds portfolio also includes Rackspace, Nice inContact, RingCentral, fuze, OBT Anywhere and 8x8. The distributor is pioneering the agency model concept in A/NZ, in which third-party cloud brokers are recruited, trained, and supported to advise clients on which cloud communications and/or infrastructure service is suitable. The partner registers the business opportunity, and gets compensated for it, even without the specific vendor certification.
