By: Patton Electronics The original Spanish version of this story was posted on Notasdeprensa.es The prestigious Avanzada7 company (www.avanzada7.com) Guillermo Ruiz, partner Avanzada7, recently granted an interview with Notas de Prensa in which he clarifies the reality of the markets in which the company works, highlighting the contributions of Patton (www.patton.com) NP: Avanzada7 has established itself as one of the distributors of reference in the Iberian Peninsula in Voice over IP. Its 10-year history has practically accompanied this technology from birth. What evolution has followed the company since its inception? GR: The Avanzada7 engineering company was born and we have tried to maintain that philosophy today. We want to differentiate the classic figure of distributor focused on the logistics of the channel, as the resources of the company are dedicated to giving technical support and consulting services and training to our clients. NP: Avanzada7 has always been concerned to create spaces for VoIP technology diffusion as organizer of VoIP2DAY, one of the industry-benchmark forums in Europe. What has been the evolution of this event in recent years and the balance of the last edition? What are the prospects for future editions? GR: VoIP2DAY has been an event that has not only been consolidated as the only European reference for unified communications, VoIP telephony and professional but has continued to grow, both in sponsoring and supporting sponsors the event as visitors and media coverage. For future editions, as we did in the first 5 issues, listen to the feedback we get from the participants and try to innovate and give voice to the sector strategic players. In this regard, collaboration with Elastix in the 2012 edition has been one of the most successful in the 5 years of the event. NP: In two countries, Portugal and Spain, with many small-sized SMEs, does Voice over IP technology have no place in the business? Is understood and /or used by companies? GR: Increasingly. The key is that a well-formed solution can explain how to optimize your communications, not only to reduce costs but to be more productive. Such is the trend and, indeed, more and more SMEs are asking for VoIP solutions. NP: What is the type of customer? You are looking for very specific solutions, knowing the products or rely on the advice and support that gives Avanzada7? GR: Our channel is frankly mixed. IT ranges from the self-employed or companies with fewer than 5 employees up to major phone operators, through the country's leading consultants and integrators of medium size. Among them, it is possible to find companies that make us your first contact with IP telephony and others with years of industry experience. The added value we place on the sale of any product leaving our warehouse (channel policy clear, and after sales support, or a quick and flexible logistics among other values) today is our best tool to starting loyalty. NP: One of the manufacturers that have started working this year is the U.S. multinational Patton Electronics, whose Spanish market penetration is growing share in recent times. What would you highlight of this company GR: For a distributor like us, it is a privilege to work with one of the leaders in the industry, which has spent nearly 30 years working in leading products for communications and telephony. Of note is the constant investment in R & D for a range of products adapted to a constantly evolving technology. NP: Among the products of Patton, deserves special mention its SmartNode Gateways line, which carries 7 consecutive years receiving the award "Product of the Year" in the VOIP equipment category, awarded by the prestigious American publication Internet Telephony. What this product line for the Avanzada7 market and the portfolio? GR: With Patton we face the most comprehensive portfolio of solutions and extensive market on telephony gateways.
