Enterprise IP video provider VBrick Systems has announced that its global partner program reached a significant milestone with the addition of five new, high-profile reseller and distributor partners spanning Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Collectively, these new partners have signed on dozens of new customers across VBrick’s core market sectors including corporate, education and government. The addition of these customers to VBrick’s steadily growing worldwide customer roster has resulted in the company tripling its international revenue in the last year.
“Against the backdrop of increasing global demand—and recognition of VBrick as the only complete, scalable and fully integrated IP video streaming solution on the market—we have surpassed even our own expectations for worldwide partner and customer growth in the last year,” said Paul Reeves, head of EMEA for VBrick. “As the global economy continues to improve, and as customers the world over realize the many business benefits inherent to the powerful IP video streaming solutions that we bring to market, we’re confident that we can advance our global position even more aggressively in the years ahead.”
VBrick’s investment in cultivating relationships with leading partners across the world is key to its success. The company’s extensive partner relationships enable customers to easily integrate IP video streaming into existing communications and IT infrastructures and immediately begin realizing the power of video communications to enable employee collaboration and drive business growth.
