Switch and Data Introduces Its Premier Agent Program with World Telecom Group

Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services, today announced the launch of its Premier Agent Program. Switch and Data designed this program to meet the needs of master agents looking to establish closer ties between themselves, their agent partners and the company to leverage its industry-leading data centers to meet customers’ infrastructure availability and colocation requirements. World Telecom Group (WTG), a leading master agent known for providing exceptional service to its agent partners, will be Switch and Data’s first Premier Agent.

Founded in 1996, World Telecom Group has one of the most diverse portfolios in the industry, including local, long-distance, data, Internet and associated equipment. WTG has expanded its relationship with Switch and Data to help its agent partners colocate their customers’ infrastructure with industry-leading data center services in ways that address many partners’ most urgent challenges. These include improving margins with new recurring revenue streams, solidifying customer relationships in a highly competitive environment and avoiding outages and downtime which can threaten customer relationships.

"Through this dynamic partnership, our Agent Partners now have access to Switch and Data's competitive and scalable colocation solutions for their end users,” said Vince Bradley, CEO, World Telecom Group. “This joint effort continues to solidify WTG as the most diverse Master Agent in the industry.”

The Alliance Partners Practice’s Premier Partners Program is another example of Switch and Data’s continued commitment to the channel. The Program directly addresses commission concerns surrounding increasing revenue and margins in today’s environment of tight IT budgets. Premier Agents and their agent partners receive reliable commissions for the term of the contract, as well as dedicated channel managers, enhanced technical and systems support and competitive residual monthly commissions.

“WTG has taken a leadership position by joining our Premier Agent Program, and we are excited to support WTG and their large network of partners,” said Joe Mileo, Vice President Indirect Channels, Switch and Data. “As a Premier Agent, WTG will not only provide a leading colocation solution, but now they can ensure commission payments for all sales made by their sub-agents.”

As part of its Alliance Partners’ Practice growth strategy, Switch and Data’s Premier Agent Program hopes to engage the industry’s sought-after solution providers and master agents.
