HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced that Jenne, a leading value-added distributor of business telephony and technology products headquartered in Avon, Ohio, has joined the Digium Cloud Agent Program as a Master Agent. The agreement allows Jenne's partners the opportunity to expand their portfolios with Digium's award-winning Switchvox Cloud Unified Communications (UC) business phone system and SIP trunking services, while maximizing commissions in the rapidly growing cloud services market.

More than a hosted VoIP PBX, Switchvox Cloud is an affordably priced, full-featured UC cloud solution. Digium's unique "all features included" pricing model for Switchvox Cloud takes the guesswork and complexity out of choosing and deploying an advanced business phone system. Developed and deployed by Digium, SIP trunking gives companies the ability to offer an end-to-end solution under one support umbrella. With the increased cost savings of SIP trunking services, the powerful UC functionality of Switchvox, and the ease of use with feature-rich Digium IP Phones, Digium provides a total business communications solution for small and medium businesses.

"The demand for cloud deployed solutions continues to gain momentum in the channel," said Patrick Howard, senior director of cloud solutions for Jenne, Inc. "More and more Jenne channel partners are asking for cloud solutions every day. Our new cloud partnership with Digium allows Jenne to expand our cloud portfolio, meet growing demand and create new business. We're excited to be working with Digium to expand the cloud unified communications marketplace."

"As a valued, existing distributor, it is particularly exciting to welcome Jenne into our Cloud Master Agent program, allowing them to expand their portfolio of solutions with our hosted PBX and SIP trunking services," said Steve Harvey, vice president of worldwide sales for Digium. "Switchvox Cloud was developed with Digium's premises-based Switchvox PBX. Resellers already selling and supporting on-premises Switchvox products are able to leverage their expertise to rapidly deploy these cloud-based solutions to their SMB customers with little to no learning curve."
