Intelisys Communications And SADA Systems Announce Strategic Partnership

Bring Microsoft Solutions and Supporting Managed Services to Broader Sales Channel

Intelisys Communications, Inc., the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor (Master Agent), and SADA Systems, a global leader in providing cloud transformation solutions and strategic IT services, have reached a groundbreaking partnership agreement.

The partnership allows the Intelisys Partner community to leverage the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Program through SADA Systems, providing both leading Microsoft solutions and managed services to their customers. This compelling development saw SADA—a Microsoft National Solutions Provider with Gold Competencies and the 2015 Microsoft Partner of the Year for Cloud Packaged Solutions—handpicked by Microsoft as a CSP ideally matched to the footprint and velocity of the Intelisys Sales Partner community.

“This partnership with SADA Systems presents a tremendous opportunity for so many of our Sales Partners and their customers,” said Andrew Pryfogle, Senior Vice President, Cloud Transformation, Intelisys. “The vast majority of businesses utilize Microsoft software, in some capacity, every day. The difference that SADA brings is not the licensing, but the support experience that allows customers to leverage Microsoft technology to solve problems for their businesses. SADA is committed to this relationship, they are committed to our channel, and they are committed to delivering an outstanding customer experience for cloud-based deployments, to ensure customers get the greatest value out of the lifetime of their technology investment. We’re going to do great things together as we continue to educate the best Sales Partners in the industry.”

Effective immediately, Intelisys Sales Partners can sell a complete suite of Microsoft cloud solutions—including Office 365, Azure, Skype for Business (Lync), Dynamics CRM Online, Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS), Power BI, SharePoint Online and Yammer—to their customers, as well as upsell to a complete solution that incorporates SADA’s full range of managed services and support expertise, wrapped around product licenses. Under the agreement, SADA Systems will also become a sponsor of Intelisys Cloud Services University, expanding their cloud expertise through the channel’s leading cloud sales education platform.

“New opportunities for partners are opening up through channel innovation like the CSP program,” said Cindy Bates, Microsoft’s Vice President of SMB. “We are delighted to see organizations such as Intelisys and SADA Systems take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate and bring new value to their customers.”

“SADA is very excited to be partnering with Intelisys, expanding our sales channel to offer bestin-class cloud solutions along with SADA’s consultative and deployment services on a national level,” stated Tony Safoian, CEO & President, SADA Systems. “We see the partnership between Intelisys and SADA Systems as a key component to our business strategy to help even more organizations make their transition to the cloud a hassle-free experience, ultimately providing them with even more opportunities to innovate and collaborate.”

Microsoft’s recognition of the value in a sales channel that confidently understands the value of recurring revenue and has already adopted the cloud services model laid the foundation for the first-to-market strategic relationship between SADA Systems and Intelisys.
