Building on 2010

As the new year begins, let’s reflect on what opportunities 2010 brought to our Resellers and ABP. 

2010 challenges effected everyone. VoIP went mainstream and acceptance definitely was a bright spot as it helped our partners win more business by selling their clients improved communication efficiencies combined with cost reduction. Higher-end IP Video Surveillance solutions and video conferencing brought new revenue streams to resellers and integrators offering cost savings and asset protection.

On the marketing side ABP’s IP Sizzles tour visited 9 cities and met hundreds of resellers to demonstrate our new product line-up and describe new business opportunities. ABP staff and vendors showcased the latest in IP Communications and IP Surveillance to provide our reseller partners with profitable ways to grow their business. Attendees expressed how much they enjoyed the event and the value each segment of the program added to their total experience; from the personal networking, the keynotes and panels, our social events and face to face time with the vendors and ABP staff.

What's New in 2011?

IP technology continued to grow in 2010 and along with the improving business climate our resellers reported improving results. ABP also grew expanding our sales team and moving our offices and warehouse to a new, larger facility. In addition to more inventory stocking and processing space, we created a larger lab for interoperability testing of new products, an IP Solution show room and an expanded training facility. An Open House is targeted for the third week in February. Stay tuned for more details. Your account manager or product manager will update you on new products, free training opportunities at ABP's new location and more.

All this would not have been possible without your support during these past years. We very much appreciate your business as well as the professional and personal relationships we have developed with our customers. In the next days we will send you our annual reseller survey so we can see how we did in the last year and what we can do better. Please give us two minutes and send us your feedback. We welcome your ideas on how we can do better and what else we should do to help you achieve your business goals for 2011 and beyond!
