Designation Gives ANPI Premier Partner Program Members Another Advantage in the Marketplace, Lets Buyers Skip Lengthy RFP Process
Springfield, IL – June 17, 2015: ANPI, a leading provider of Hosted Unified Communications (UC) solutions, has become an approved vendor with TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System), a national purchasing cooperative that offers its members access to competitively procured purchasing contracts providing them the ability to skip the time-consuming RFP (Request for Proposal) process. TIPS members include governmental agencies such as public education organizations, higher education entities and city or county governments.
If a government agency, like a public school, is in need of a new phone system, they typically have to participate in a lengthy RFP process to choose their vendor. This is draining on everyone involved, including the consultant. Members of TIPS can simply choose from a list of approved TIPS vendors and place an order. ANPI, and our ANPI VIP Hosted UC solution, are now on that list.
For agents who are members of the ANPI Premier Partner Program , being a TIPS-approved vendor provides a great shortcut to the sales process. TIPS members are introduced to ANPI, and the company and its services are already vetted, approved and priced competitively.
“Schools and municipalities are moving from a traditional phone system to a cloud-based system to save money and improve the productivity of their workers,” said Tim Peterson, ANPI Channel Sales Director. “Being part of the TIPS program makes moving to the latest technology easy. It will also help our Premier Partners be more successful, as they can approach these entities directly.”
ANPI VIP provides a comprehensive set of PBX features, including auto attendants, hunt groups, call recording and fax services. As a cloud-based solution, ANPI supports mobile users and has collaboration tools for audio conference and desktop sharing, all while reducing both labor and equipment costs. This solution even provides business continuity in the event of a disaster, so government entities can continue to function normally. For schools and libraries, ANPI is also E-Rate eligible, so costs for ANPI VIP can be supplemented by federal funding.
ANPI VIP is available for a low, monthly fee that never varies. To schedule a demonstration, or for more information, call 877-936-3003 or visit anpi.com.
