Master Agent Telarus Crowns Mitel with the Partners’ Choice Award for Best Overall Supplier

Nominations from among Telarus’ 6400+ partners earn Mitel a record four awards

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitel®, a global leader in business communications, scooped up multiple honors, including Partners’ Choice for Best Overall Supplier, during a special awards ceremony hosted recently by Telarus, a key Mitel cloud partner and master agent of business cloud infrastructure and contact center services. The semi-virtual event took place at the Hale Center Theatre in Sandy, Utah, and recognized a select group of suppliers out of more than 200 service providers.

Sweeping the “people’s choice” categories based on nominations from among Telarus’ 6400+ partners, Mitel also locked in wins for members of its cloud sales team. Richard Fry was named Top National Channel Manager for the second year in a row, while Jessica Martin and David Sirokman both received recognition as Best Local Channel Managers for their respective regions.

Mitel also partners with Tradewinds Brokerage, a Telarus company and the first technology services distributor, to address growing global demand for cloud services in Australia and New Zealand.
