TalkSwitch Signs Imeco Telecom As Its Newest Canadian Distribution Partner

TalkSwitch, the leader in the design and manufacture of innovative telephone systems for small and multi-location businesses, recently announced Imeco Telecom as its newest distributor, opening up new reseller opportunities across Canada, and giving TalkSwitch a solid presence in the province of Quebec.

As a value added distributor (VAD), Imeco will offer more than simple order fulfillment to TalkSwitch resellers. With more than 11 years of telecom and networking expertise, the company is able to offer installation services and assistance, as well as network design expertise and advice on complimentary equipment to best serve the needs of the reseller's clients.

With a large, existing reseller base across Canada, and a proven ability to sell product to independent telephone companies across Ontario and Quebec, Imeco is well positioned to help further establish TalkSwitch as the phone system of choice for small businesses across the country.

"Imeco Telecom is an ideal distribution partner for TalkSwitch," said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. "Telecom is their sole focus, and they are very passionate about what they do. They have a sizeable reseller channel already in place, giving us instant access to thousands of potential new customers, and they have the ability to offer top quality service in both official languages in Canada. With our newly released French language TalkSwitch software and documentation, that's a huge benefit for our company. We're very pleased to have reached this partnership with them."

Imeco is headquartered in Montreal, but also has offices in Toronto and in Edmonton, so resellers across the country can place orders with the closest office. The company has also been a Bell Canada Alliance partner for more than seven years, a designation reserved for companies that have significant sales through, and in partnership with, Bell Canada.

"We've dealt with many telephone system manufacturers over the years, but the TalkSwitch solution is the one that has excited us the most," said Marc Flynn, General Manager, Imeco Telecom. "In fact we're installing TalkSwitch systems in all of our own offices! The small business market is one that has great potential for us, and TalkSwitch is the ideal system to address that market. We love its combination of VoIP and traditional telephony and think our resellers will have great success bringing these systems to small businesses in Canada."
