telyPartner Program Market Opportunity
To help meet the anticipated demand for enterprise-class video conferencing for SMBs, Tely Labs has created a new multi-tiered telyPartner reseller program.

Since its launch, telyHD BE has been sold through Ingram Micro and D&H and select resellers such as Hybridge IT, a Silicon Valley based technology consultancy. With the launch of the telyPartner program, the company expects to increase its reseller base to several hundred active authorized resellers.
“Not only has Tely Labs designed a truly breakthrough product, the company has provided us tremendous support and worked closely with us to help meet the needs of our wide range of SMB customers,” said Martin Dunsby, CEO of Hybridge IT. “With telyHD BE, we can help companies achieve immediate business impact and develop a strong ongoing relationship.
