As a master agent, Telarus (News – Alert) looks to offer the best from its portfolio. Thus a new partnership with POTS-provider Granite gives Telarus partners access to enterprise-level POTS solutions.

Since POTS can integrate easily with new technologies, it is vital to keep it along with advanced communication systems, so this partnership is advantageous. One does not have to completely do away with POTS; it can save businesses a great deal of money and time, especially during an emergency.

This partnership bodes well for Granite.

“We’re excited about joining forces with Telarus,” said Granite Channel Sales Manager Dave Hanron in a press statement. “They are a recognized leader in the Channel and have a wonderful relationship with their base of solution partners. The Telarus-Granite combination is certain to evolve into a great revenue maker for all involved.”

While the technology has vastly improved over the years, mobile phones and VoIP are greatly affected by weather changes. Other disruptions on these kinds of telephony communication include cell tower location problems, satellite positions and even power interruptions. POTS are highly stable as they will not even need power to operate especially if using it for calls only. Having this as an option to offer partners is a solid move for Telarus.

“Granite fills a hole in our portfolio we have had for some time,” said Telarus’ Vice President of Supplier Management, Paula McKinnon. “It took us almost a full year to negotiate the terms of our agreement but we now have what we believe to be the best contract with Granite in the channel. We are very particular about which suppliers we choose to recommend to our partners and after looking in depth at all the companies in this space it was clear Granite was the best choice. I look forward to working with them going forward because I have seen how important the channel is to them and how committed they are to taking care of us and our partners.”
