"Our Avaya coursework is designed to help Avaya Connect Channel Partners push their own skill sets and succeed in collaboration technology faster, in both enterprise or SME," commented Jim Karaffa, director, training and technical services, Jenne, Inc. "Whether resellers are looking to understand how to implement an enterprise-oriented Avaya Aura® solution in a SIP architecture or troubleshoot an SMB-oriented Avaya IP Office environment, our courses provide a superior training experience in every dimension when compared to the competition."

"Our continued success in the enterprise market is very important to us," commented Kathy Alaimo, director of corporate education, Kathy Alaimo Ronco Communications & Electronics, Inc., a Tonawanda, NY-based Avaya Connect Channel Partner. "Jenne University provides a full curriculum on Avaya enterprise communications and collaboration products, such as the Avaya Aura unified communications architecture and applications, that is not commonly offered by other distributors. Our folks are not only trained on system features and functionalities, but they receive immersive, hands-on experience with each product along with technical assistance from knowledgeable instructors."

"Our partnership with Jenne has truly provided us with a superior training experience," said Ron Corby, manager of post-sales support at Stamford CT-based Frontier Communications Corporation. "Every aspect of the training our team has received at Jenne University has been exceptional from scheduling to the hands-on training itself. Plus, the lab environment and equipment are outstanding."

"I am particularly pleased with Jenne's post-training availability so our students can experience continued support. I consider this to be a true differentiator," Corby added. "All-in-all, Jenne University has been a critical component of Frontier's success in being able to deliver installation services and support to our customers."

An authorized Avaya distributor since 1996, Jenne has always maintained a strong focus on training, helping Avaya Connect Channel Partners succeed with the latest groundbreaking technology. In 2004, the company established its own Jenne University — its own dedicated, brick and mortar training facility led by its own instructors — creating a new standard of training in IT distribution.
