Major Cisco Distribution Partner Adds XMediusFAX To Its Product Portfolio
Montreal, Canada, Nov. 6, 2002
Interstar Technologies is pleased to announce its partnership with one of Europe’s largest Cisco networking distributors, Comstor, to market its boardless T.38 Fax-Over-IP solution, XMediusFAX.
“Our partnership with Comstor is a significant step in our global marketing strategy. Through Comstor’s extensive European distribution network, our leading-edge technology is penetrating new, key vertical markets,” stated Guy Blanchette, Interstar’s President and CEO. “This is a growing relationship that will reward both sides for years to come.”
While Interstar has had European resellers for several years, this agreement marks their first large-scale distribution deal in the EEC.
Said Blanchette, “There is a vital synergy between Comstor and ourselves. XMediusFAX adds significant value to Cisco Systems’ voice-over-IP solutions. Comstor’s reseller partners will be able to offer a complete range of communications products encompassing data, voice, email and fax.”
“Comstor are delighted to be working with Interstar to bring another critical component of the IP Telephony solution to the market," commented Paul Cunningham, Service Director for Comstor UK. “Interstar's sustained innovation in IP fax server technology, combined with Comstor's proven logistics model and market development strategy, delivers increased opportunities for revenue growth and profitability for Cisco IP Telephony solutions providers."
“As an addition to Comstor’s line of IP Telephony solutions, Interstar brings one of the business-critical links that to date have been missing," said Robert Britt, Sales Director of Cisilion, a Surrey, UK-based Cisco Premier Partner and a Comstor customer. “XMediusFAX will encourage our customers to move towards complete Cisco IP telephony solutions, significantly enhancing both their business capabilities and their return on investment in Cisco equipment.”
