ChannelVision Magazine Recognizes Granite's POTS Alternative, Premium Dispatch Services and New VAR Partner Program for Driving Growth for Partners and Customers
QUINCY, Mass. and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ChannelVision Magazine has recognized Granite Telecommunications, a $1.75 billion provider of communications services to multilocation businesses and government agencies, as a winner of four 2022 Visionary Spotlight Awards (VSA) for innovation in emerging technology, digital transformation, multilocation deployments and channel programs.
"The competition this year will be remembered for the applicants' unique approaches to solving issues and creating solutions that answer the call of partners and end-users," said Berge Kaprelian, Publisher of ChannelVision Magazine. "We had a record number of total entries, which made this year's competition tougher than ever. But at the end of the day, the companies named have proven they meet the challenges of today's changing workplace."
Notably, Granite was presented with the VSA for Channel Program of the Year Award for its new VAR Partner Program launched in April. The program helps VARs find savings to fund new initiatives, fill in service gaps like nationwide installation and managed services, and add recurring revenue with commissions on Granite's carrier and managed services.
Granite also received the VSA for Emerging Technology Breakthrough Award and the VSA for Innovation in Digital Transformation for Granite EPIK, an industry-first, next-generation managed POTS replacement service. Granite EPIK helps companies evolve their networks to IP while still supporting business-critical specialty lines that rely on legacy TDM landlines, such as fire and security alarms, Blue light boxes, elevator voice circuits, fax and more.
Finally, Granite received the VSA for Innovation in Multilocation Deployments for Granite Premium Dispatch, the latest addition to the Granite Guardian managed services portfolio. Granite Premium Dispatch delivers rapid response to system issues by the right technicians with the right hardware and expertise. Premium Dispatch includes:
- 24/7 proactive monitoring and automatic trouble ticketing
