2023 VISIONARY SPOTLIGHT AWARDS | CHANNELVISION Multi-location Deployments Granite Telecommunications In March 2021, Granite Channels offered partners a revenue opportunity to earn commissions on its integration services. This includes its technology deployment services, including vendor-agnostic product configuration, staging and ongoing asset management. The opportunity earned Granite Channels a referral from a partner for a multilocation customer deployment with a restaurant chain undergoing a rapid national expansion of more than 250 locations. Granite was tapped to assist the chain on several fronts from migrating away from various voice/data providers to standardizing voice and data connectivity and from designing and installing a fully managed network to standardizing network infrastructure for network cabling and AV nationwide. Now, after three years the program continues strong.
