ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced it is working with Telarus to open new channel opportunities for the ProCloud Subscription Services Program. Partners can now work with Telarus, the largest privately-held master agent in the U.S., to sell ProCloud Unified Communications (UC) and NG Firewall in an agent commission model. The agreement allows Telarus’ partners to expand their services portfolio and addressable market by easily adding new recurring revenue solutions.
“This is an exciting and significant step for our growing partner community, as it opens new channels for revenue and success,” said Meggin Sawyer, vice president, Business Solutions and Cloud Services, ADTRAN. “We are proud to unite with Telarus and its community of nearly 4,000 partners to extend the footprint of our Subscription Services offering.
