Voice Over IP Distributor ABP Technology Announces VoIP Sizzles Tour 2006 Conference Series to Be Held in New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles for VoIP, Telecom and Data Networking Resellers

Posted on: Tuesday, 6 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

ABP Technology, a technology distributor specialized in VoIP headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is pleased to announce the VoIP Sizzles Tour 2006, a nationwide Roadshow for Resellers. As the leading specialty distributor of VoIP products, ABP supports data networking and telecom resellers throughout North and South America. ABP provides and supports a comprehensive portfolio of "Best of Breed" VoIP products, application knowledge, technical information, special services and training programs.

This is the third consecutive year for ABP Technology to organize and host "VoIP Sizzles". The previous two annual events were held in Dallas, Texas. Both were great successes and last year's meeting had over 100 VoIP resellers attending. Past attendees are universal in their praise for both the concentrated focus and diversity of our format. VoIP Sizzles Tour 2006 is an efficient yet effective resource for any reseller who has already or is considering moving into the Voice over IP market.

Once again ABP will offer two intense days including one day of roundtable discussions and presentations by industry experts. On the first day, along with the General Sessions, there are two tracks; one for executives the second for technical interests. The second day offers a training session on "Professional VoIP", the main theme for our 2006 event. "Professional VoIP" enables the Reseller to offer their end-user customers more quality, expanded applications, a better service level and more features than traditional telephony. It offers the Reseller a selection of products with proven interoperability, ease of installation and support while providing new revenue and profit opportunities.

"The VoIP Sizzles Tour 2006 is designed for Resellers to take away specific steps and tools to ensure that their business succeeds in the exciting and growing VoIP market. ABP Technology is unique in its commitment to Resellers," explains Robert Messer, Founder of ABP. "This event is one example of how we bring information and support closer to our Resellers so they can grow their revenue and their customer base. We are convinced Resellers are the channel of the future for ever more complex and interrelated technology products."

Among the many unique vendors participating in this event are Allworx, AudioCodes, AstroCom, Digium, Citel. The VoIP Migration Company, Converged Access, Eicon Networks Corporation, Epygi Technologies, Hitachi-Cable, Ingate Systems, Intertex, LignUp, Linksys, Meru Networks, Nero, ORGALOGIC, Pandora Networks, Ranch Networks, snom Technology, and others.

"AudioCodes is excited to be a sponsor of ABP Tech's VoIP Sizzles Tour 2006 Roadshow.

It gives AudioCodes the opportunity to learn from the VAR and SP community about their needs giving us the ability to service them better. We look forward to participating in this year's event." John D'Annunzio, AudioCodes Director, Sales Systems Group

"As VoIP takes the center stage in defining the new generation of telephony, companies like ABP Technology are providing the technology, support and products necessary to move the resellers' into this new area. We are proud to support ABP in their efforts to education the market and represent Digium/Asterisk products." says Digium's Greg Vance, VP Sales.
