Aastra appoints Goldtel Solutions as premium distribution partner

Johannesburg, 25 Aug 2009

Aastra Telecom South Africa, the sub-Saharan business unit of global enterprise communications provider Aastra, has partnered with Goldtel Industries for the supply of SME enterprise equipment and solutions into the South African market.

Aastra has long been a premium supplier of scalable and functionally rich communications systems, catering for two to 50 000 users and covering key technology requirements from traditional analogue, digital, IP, up to the latest in SIP capability and connectivity.

But, a product is nothing without an experienced and capable delivery engine.

Effective partnerships not only assist vendors to support larger geographical areas, but to build a resource rich supply and support structure to ensure that customers needs are evaluated and addressed effectively and efficiently.

Goldtel Industries incorporates the traditional "Hymax" network as well as a large number of independent standalone and national represented businesses. "We believe that Goldtel's track record speaks for itself and that they are optimally positioned to give the Aastra product set the focus required to achieve our mutual objectives in the marketplace," says Hercules Schoombee, Managing Director of Aastra Telecom South Africa.

"In addition, we believe that Goldtel's go-to-market strategy complements our own and that together we can build a distinguished supply channel that ensures our customers receive the highest quality in terms of product, expertise, service and support," adds Schoombee.

"The BusinessPhone and OpenCom, part of Aastra's SME product stable, will benefit from the very impressive track record that Goldtel has established in the small to medium enterprise market, and in return Aastra will provide Goldtel with a global technology partner that is focused on the requirements of the enterprise business segment, and will enable Goldtel Solutions to face the challenges of an ever-changing enterprise market."
