Novus Gains Microsoft Gold Communications Competency

Novus LLC, a distributor of telecommunications and IP equipment, has achieved Microsoft’s Partner Network Gold Communications competency for 2018.

This designation, which is based on the company meeting rigorous technical, sales and marketing standards, validates Novus’ expertise working with on-premise Skype for Business and cloud-hosted Microsoft Teams and Phone System (formerly known as Skype for Business Online with Cloud PBX).

“We are proud to achieve Microsoft Gold Communications Competency for the sixth year straight. It is a rare distinction to earn this status, and we are one of a select few in the world with the designation,” said Chris Meehan, managing partner at Novus. “Our Microsoft Gold Communications status solidifies our role as a leading provider of Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams solutions. It is important for both integrators and their enterprise clients to have the assurance that the entire value chain is Microsoft certified.”

Novus offers a full complement of IP phones, headsets, conference phones, network gear, and software applications for Microsoft UC. Going forward, the company expects to leverage the benefits that come with being a Gold partner (including direct support from Microsoft).

Novus also recently introduced an MTC Skype for Business Voice trial program called Go UC Voice, which gives eligible businesses the resources to test, validate, plan and deploy Skype for Business Voice across their enterprises. This program provides VoIP hardware and resources, including Skype for Business IP phones from Yealink or AudioCodes and free Novus consulting services.
