eZuce, Inc., which delivers open enterprise communications based on the standards established by the SIPfoundry (News - Alert) community, has launched the EZ Partner Program designed to empower the channel by being first to market with eZuce openUC solutions.

Officials with eZuce said that Ronco Communications and Electronics, Inc. is the first to join as an EZ Elite partner.

Ronco Communications & Electronics, Inc. is an integrator of communications products and services, with a strong focus on IP communications and unified technologies.

Company officials said that eZuce partners will now offer the complete portfolio of eZuce open communication solutions and work closely with eZuce to enable enterprises to maximize their IT investments and achieve the lowest total cost of ownership leveraging next generation unified communications technology.

According to company officials, three-tiered structure determines the right combination of programs, support offerings and solutions to address distinct partner business models and meet specific business requirements ensuring partners can deliver best-in-class enterprise solutions that provide a clear path to open and secure communications for customers.

The EZ Expert Program is designed for partners who have a strong focus in the SMB marketplace and are interested in capitalizing on their open source experiences using sipXecs and engagement through the SIPfoundry community.

EZ Pro Program was developed for partners that have a focus in the mid to large enterprise marketplace and are looking to deliver an open alternative to current 'single vendor UC solutions' in order to capitalize on legacy IP PBX (News - Alert) upgrade opportunities and EZ Elite Program is available to select partners that include Ronco Communications and Electronics, Inc. who are accustomed to managing large enterprise deployments and thus work closely with eZuce strategic alliance partners to provide advanced open UC solutions.

Company officials said that eZuce has established a comprehensive infrastructure to support its partners along with dedicated resources such as deal registration, online training and certification, competitive selling tools, customer case studies, newsletters, webinars, and product literature to ensure their successes in selling and supporting eZuce solutions.

"To best serve our partner community, we've put careful consideration into the creation of fundamental programs to optimize eZuce's product platform and meet the ever-growing need for software-only, SIP-based solutions that provide enterprises with an open and flexible alternative to Microsoft (News - Alert)”, said David Grazio, VP of product marketing, eZuce Inc., in a statement.

Grazio said that the company is committed to the success of the channel in getting eZuce solutions deployed within the enterprise market and will offer hands-on services, training and tools to help them gain a leg up on the competition.

"eZuce provides a software-only platform that enables Communications-as-a-Service based on deep-rooted experience and technical expertise in delivering flexible next-generation voice, video and data communications at competitive costs”, said Chris Wasp, president, Ronco Communications and Electronics Inc..

Wasp said that the company will leverage the eZuce Partner Program to accelerate the growth of customer adoption and vastly improve the enterprise communications experience.
