Portland, Ore. – February 12, 2014 – Integra™, a provider of fiber-based, carrier-grade networking, communications and technology solutions, has entered into an agreement with the Agent Alliance, an industry consortium of telecom and IT companies with a focus on cloud services, to become a preferred provider. The agreement provides Integra the opportunity to work directly with the Alliance’s network of industry key influencers and leaders, who gain access to Integra’s enterprise-grade product portfolio and its long-haul and metro fiber networks on behalf of their customers.
“The agreement between Integra and Agent Alliance is a testament to the strength and diversity of our partner program,” said Tom Gorey, vice president, indirect channel for Integra. “This expands our access to key markets through the Agent Alliance’s trusted supply chain, while supporting its agents with a comprehensive portfolio of enterprise solutions for robust network services and cloud connectivity.
