Westcon Direct Routing scheme for resellers

Westcon has launched its new DR:Simplified initiative to help resellers seize the opportunity around enterprise voice calling in Microsoft Teams.

Less than 10 percent of  Teams’ 145 million users use the platform for enterprise voice calling and DR:Simplified offers partners a simplified way to find, compare, learn, sell, and incentivise their Teams Voice business.

To support the campaign, Westcon is also investing in new demo loan equipment from Poly, including Poly Studio X50 video conferencing bar and Poly TC8 intuitive touch interface, among others.

These solutions will be provided for end user trials by Westcon to convince prospects of the benefits when paired with a high-quality device.

Antony Byford, Managing Director at Westcon UK & Ireland, stated:

“The end user market has taken a significant step forward in cloud UC adoption as we see businesses replacing merely adequate UC systems with more enterprise-grade solutions from market leaders. Our partners have a great ongoing opportunity to capitalise on this opportunity.

“The DR:Simplified campaign includes offerings from Microsoft and our certified technology partners Poly, 8x8, Avaya, Mitel, Ribbon, AudioCodes, and Jabra. Our latest investments in demo services will make it easier for partners to accelerate proof of concepts and satisfy that customer demand.”
