Top 5 Reasons to Attend SMB VoIP
September 20-22, Washington DC 2010

5. The humidity will be gone from Washington DC. Admittedly – the recent Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) in Washington DC (mid-July) was a bit overheated and humid. That all changes in the fall – it’ll be a glorious few days at the Gaylord!

4. Co-location is LEVERAGE! We are delighted to team with Channel Partners, a well-established telecom show. We believe that we’re better together. The typically Channel Partner’s attendee is a “sales agent” who is very good at promoting and selling telecom plans and cloud services. That allows our SMB Nation tribal members to actually “do the work” if you team up. It’s hand-and-glove folks!

3. SMB Subject Matter Experts! We’re bringing in the best in the business again. You’ll just have to click through to see who!

2. Be there at the Start – SMB VoIP community. Leading the parade and being ahead of the curve is a time-tested formula for business success. This is your chance to “own” the entire customer relationship that combines voice+data. This time the convergence is for real.

1. You Must! Home alarm system time folks – if you don’t VoIP your customers as a computer guy, someone else will. That is, the telephone grrl will come in and steal your client. Trust us – she’s already calling on your accounts!

Want a proven, fully supported product you can wrap your arms around … and yet be able to release into the Cloud as a recurring revenue source? Hardware as a Service (HaaS) provider CharTec has a solution for you.

By no longer using others’ hardware, the principal and CEO of CharTec, Alex Rogers, beat his MSPs' previous experience of 30 percent hardware and 60 percent virtualization failure rates. What does this mean to you?

According to a phone interview held on Monday and materials provided by CharTec, you, too, can halt profitability hemorrhage from unbillable hours and regain confidence in real-life hardware that serves as the gateway to Cloud revenue.

Bakersfield, CA-based company’s custom Backup Disaster Recovery

appliance is built to distinct specifications, is available for MSPs to purchase and install at their or their clients’ sites. As a HaaS resource, there are no upfront costs from CharTec for the unit.

This is the first and only product made available from CharTec open for purchase or as HaaS to any qualified MSP, without a membership requirement. The unit is backed 24/7/365 by U.S.-based help desk support.

Remotely managed through an easy-to-use web-based portal, with an RMM (Remote Monitoring Management) agent for alerting and scripting, the CharTec BDR appliance delivers rapid and reliable restore of any backup image, any time. Virtual lab hours are included in the CharTec BDR appliance to allow technicians to work on servers in the cloud for easy test, verification and validation of offsite data.

“To an SMB client, data loss can be catastrophic,” said Rogers. “In addition to gaining a competitive edge and closing more opportunities, a solution like the CharTec BDR appliance can effectively keep an MSP’s clients in business after a natural or man-made disaster. It’s possibly the best choice they’ll ever make for their service provider practice.”
