Response Point partners D-Link and NGT announced today that they're working together on a co-marketing agreement to make it easier for customers to get a great end-to-end small business phone system, including hardware and voice service. From the press release:

The pairing of NGT Digital Voice phone services that connect directly to the D-Link® VoiceCenter phone system will provide the small business with an affordable solution to seamlessly merge traditional phone systems with feature-rich, affordable VoIP services without needing telephony expertise. By creating an all-in-one phone solution, small businesses can realize an increased value proposition, saving up to 50% in costs.

Since we shipped RP 1.0, we have received a lot of wonderful feedbacks from so many of our customers, partners, and analysts. It is gratifying to see RP 1.0 is loved by so many people! I know there are still lots of things we can do better and improve. I want to thank so many people who supported us along the way in creating the best telephony solution for SMB!

CRN’s recent scorecard on RP 1.0 is a good summary on RP 1.0. We are working agressively to achieve all 5’s from Features to Profit Potential. We hope to do this rapidly for our customers and partners in RP’s future releases. Thank you again!

How to become a Response Point VAR

Jeffsmi — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 19:58:57 GMT

I have gotten this question repeatedly since WPC, so I figured it would be worth answering on our blog. Selling Response Point does not require any formal certification or competency. We do provide technical training resources, but having designed the system to be easy to deploy and manage, there is no formal test to take.

So if you have reviewed the available materials and are ready to take the next step, the best thing to do is to contact one of our hardware partners directly. You can go to www.dlink.com/var and register as a Business Solutions Partner. Microsoft partners can enter the special code we gave you at WPC to automatically enroll you at diamond level, without having to pass the normal $75,000 sales threshold. D-Link's partner program was rated 5-stars by VAR Business, and diamond status comes with a host of discounts and goodies, so this is a great deal if you can get it.

There may be a question or two on the D-Link partner program enrollment form that do not apply to you, but you can always enter "n/a" in any field; an account rep will contact within a couple days of your submission to answer any questions and serve as your primary point of contact.

What about other Response Point OEM's you say? We will pass on sales and contact information for them as soon as we have it.

Will the Microsoft partner program provide tools and resources as well? But of course. We are working on a partner portal site as we speak. Since Response Point is an OEM product however, you will need to procure it through the sales channels of one of our OEMs.

Still have questions? Send them our way!
