Digium Signs Master Agent Partnership with Clarus Communications

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced that Clarus Communications, a premier telecommunications master agency located in St. Louis, Mo., has joined the new Digium Cloud Agent Program as a Master Agent. Clarus Communications is a comprehensive nationwide technology services firm that is committed to helping its clients improve upon and achieve their specific business needs with cloud technologies.

"We are pleased to add Digium's Switchvox Cloud service to our portfolio of carriers and vendors," said Chris Torbit, a principal at Clarus Communications. "The demand for cloud phone systems is growing rapidly and Digium's Switchvox Cloud service gives us a way to uniquely address this opportunity with an all-inclusive feature set and simplified pricing model."

Clarus Communications' agents will have the opportunity to offer Switchvox Cloud, Digium's cloud-based Unified Communications (UC) solution, while maximizing commissions in the rapidly growing cloud services market. More than a hosted IP 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.

"We are excited to bring on Clarus Communications as a Digium Master Agent," said Jim Butler, Digium's director of global channel sales. "Clarus brings a unique set of resources and tools to their clients. With the help of Clarus Communications, and their network of subagents, we believe that we can quickly expand the reach of Digium's Switchvox Cloud service."
