NEC targets SMBs with UC bundles

Customers can save over $500.

NEC channel partners have access to two unified communications (UC) bundles aimed at small to medium sized customers, the vendor has announced today. 

The bundles are designed to attract end-user businessed that are starting their voyage with unified communications.

The first package saves customers $580 off the recommended retail price and includes the SV8100 series of handsets, currently used by over 3,500 customers, and eight SIP terminals with eight LCD handsets.

Bundle two includes the Xen TOPAZ digital key service unit and saves customers $562 off the recommended retail price. NEC has offered a $100 Coles Group and Myer gift card as bonus in this package.

The SV8000 Series and the Xen Topaz systems have been "enormously successful for NEC and our partners", said Anthony Carilla, AGM strategic business partners and export for NEC Australia.

"Customers have been attracted by the UC functionality [on the SV8000 Series], enterprise level reliability and performance, and the competitive price," he said.

Carilla said NEC supports its channel partners through targeted quarterly campaigns, training and other marketing initiatives and this will continue.

The offers are available to all Authorised NEC channel partners with current, valid agreements until 31st March 2010.
