Congratulations to the AVANT Communications Engineering Team

CBTS is proud to announce that AVANT Communications Engineering Team is the first master agent to receive all four certifications through the CBTS Certified Partner Program. Certification is a key initiative designed to enable Channel Partners to be tested and vetted as experts of CBTS UCaaS, SD-WAN, NaaS, and Network Security services.

Certified Channel Partners are provided full tool set access to technology equipment, complete comprehensive training, and have successfully passed a proficiency test administered by the CBTS engineering team.

“I’m very excited to announce AVANT as the first channel partner to be certified in all four of our strategic offerings,” said CBTS Sales VP and Channel Chief Robert Messmer. “This program is a key initiative for us as we continue to offer best-of-breed engineering. It is clear AVANT is committed to offering the best-of-breed solutions for their clients. Their engineering team is armed with CBTS.”

“The AVANT Engineering Team are some of the best engineering resources in the channel and are always a joy to work with,” said Matt Douglass, Sr. Director Sales Engineering, “Over the last few years it’s been exciting to watch our engineering teams grow, share, and win together. With AVANT now becoming certified in all four of our strategic product practices, it shows their commitment to not only our offerings, but to continued technical education and excellence in the channel. AVANT and CBTS share a common culture of partner support for their Trusted Advisors and we are excited to see what the future holds.”

CBTS has learned that our most successful partners:

• Understand the nuances of our offerings and where they fit in the competitive landscape.
• Possess the skills to demonstrate our solutions directly to their clients and prospects.
• Leverage our deep bench of sales engineering talent in qualified opportunities.

CBTS Partners may attain certification in one or all four (4) disciplines: UCaaS, SD-WAN, NaaS, and Network Security. AVANT certifications are valid until May of 2022 and authorize those Partners the right to use certification credentials in any marketing efforts.
