IP Communications News – March 2020

ABP IP Communications Newsletter

At ABP, our theme has always been to innovate and reinvent distribution. We started pre-configuration and offer our Partners our unique multi-vendor Safe&Easy ZTP pre-configuration service. We simplify and speed up the whole pre-configuration process like no one else.

We believe that providing value is the basis of all value generation. We only sell through resellers, so our first mandate is to provide value to you – but what better way than to give you something that you can use to provide a lot more value to your customers? Six years ago we decided to build a platform to help ABP Partners sell their own service and maintenance along with the solutions you sell to your customers.

We created a cloud-based secure remote access and maintenance platform for ABP Technology partners and enabled our partners to provide secure and fast service for all of our main product lines.

Even better, we now offer you the option to order pre-configured equipment connected to IPTechView so you can securely and remotely access and remotely monitor system health and manage all of your multi-vendor devices – Routers, Switches, PBXs, IP Phones, Wireless, IP cameras, Access Control, IoT, and much more.

NATPass at Your Service

How do you connect remote phones for your PBX? In many cases, a local SBC at each site is not the best solution. A new alternative is NATPass, now available as a monthly subscription from ABP. The money and time saved by not having a physical SBC at each location will provide you with more profit and easier maintenance. Just like the perpetual form of NATPass, you can now easily connect your customers’ remote phones virtually anywhere in the world. The best part is that you don’t have to set up and monitor the system – we do it for you, and billing is straightforward. You have access to testing and setting this up exclusively from ABP in your ABP Partner Portal.

BVoIP – A One-Stop Shop

How often have you wondered, after you have sold the deal, ‘where should I get the hardware’? Well, it typically goes something like this: you call numerous distributors to get a price on the same item and maybe even check Amazon, too. Wouldn’t it be easier if, inside your BVoIP portal, when assigning phones, you could place the order for your project (phones, gateways, etc.) and know you get a new product with the right version of FW, ready to connect all from one place at a fair and competitive price? We have our hardhats on as we speak, and our special BVoIP Partner Store with Full Integration is currently under construction.

The new store will make it easy for any partner using BVoIP to seamlessly purchase any hardware while inside the portal with just a click of a button. Stay tuned for more updates! BVoIP is a channel-focused VoIP Service company designed to help MSPs sell a reliable, standardized, and scalable communications solution.

BVoIP came directly from the MSP arena, so it is truly designed not only to automate how MSPs interact with their existing systems and tools but also to assist MSPs with an offering to standardize their Unified Communications.
