neoteric launches SMB Champions League in collaboration with ALE

MUMBAI: neoteric infomatique, a value-added distributor in the IT space, in partnership with enterprise communications solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), has launched the SMB Champions League for its accredited Independent Resellers (IR).

The Partner Rewards Program will recognize IRs under two categories—biggest and fastest achievers—for their overall business performance in driving sales for the Alcatel-Lucent OpenTouch Suite for SMB, engineered specifically for SMB customers in India.

The OpenTouch Suite for SMB offers end-to-end converged solution for voice and data, with zero touch deployment. It is the perfect response to the social, mobile and visual forces currently driving the needs of the SMBs, a release said.

The biggest achievers category is open to IRs registered under the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Partner Program. The accredited IR who achieves minimum ALE business with at least 20 percent growth during the program period, as against the earlier eight months, will compete in the Biggest Achievers category.

The fastest achievers category is open for existing as well as new IRs. New IRs need to get accredited by November 30, 2015 to participate in the SMB Champions League. A minimum threshold for fastest achievers category is set for IRs to achieve during the period of the scheme.

The last date to register for the program is June 30, 2015.
