Commercial equipment finance firm GreatAmerica Leasing Company has entered into a partnership with cloud-based hosted voice services provider Telanetix Inc.
The partnership enables GreatAmerica to bill and collect AccessLine SIP trunking charges bundled with business phone equipment.
“This partnership promises to simplify the purchasing of business phone services while taking advantage of the cost savings that SIP trunking service affords businesses,” states a joint press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB. “GreatAmerica and AccessLine have created the industry’s first consolidated phone system lease payment and SIP trunking bill to make it easy for dealers and agents to bill phone service, equipment and software on the GreatAmerica invoice.”
“We are excited to capitalize on our invoicing expertise by billing AccessLine SIP trunking charges along with PBX equipment and software on our invoices,” says Greg VanDeWalker, GreatAmerica’s senior vice president and general manager. “We look forward to helping the telecom dealers and agents that sell AccessLine Voice Services to be able to offer their customers a complete communications solution that is easy to understand and conveniently billed in a single invoice.”
For Telanetix’s part, the company says the partnership is promising. “We believe GreatAmerica is an ideal partner,” says Peter Fyhrie, the company’s AccessLine senior vice president. “This is due to their shared focus on service and support as well as their commitment to make buying voice services and equipment simple for customers. The ability for dealers and agents to offer their customers the savings of AccessLine SIP trunking along with the convenience of a single invoice for their communications solution is a great differentiator.”
