GTT Expands Channel Program

GTT Communications has expanded its channel partner program.

Three regional vice presidents will lead the effort: Robert Westervelt, east region; Michael Gough, central region; and Roland Saenz, west region. GTT provides partners with a dedicated team supporting the sales process, including sales engineering, quoting, project management and client account management, as well as marketing support, including product training and promotional materials.

“The indirect channel is core to GTT’s organic growth and a key focus for our company,” said Eric Warren, GTT division president for enterprise. “We have upgraded our channel partner program to ensure the success of our agent partners, from initial engagement with GTT to direct support of our partners’ end user clients.”

GTT’s agent partners have access to a portfolio of cloud networking services, including an SD-WAN offering, which leverages GTT’s Tier 1 internet backbone and extensive range of broadband and internet connectivity options to deliver greater bandwidth and improve application performance. GTT also added optical transport, low-latency Ethernet services and DDoS mitigation to its portfolio this year, and expanded its global network into Latin America and Africa.
