ATLANTA, July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusion Connect, a recognized and
proven leader in delivering cloud communications solutions with
one-vendor simplicity, is excited to announce record-setting Q2
channel growth and momentum. Experiencing its strongest quarterly
channel performance in history, Fusion Connect surpassed all
previous bookings, ARPU, and new partner recruitment levels.
"Fusion Connect and its partners drove 248%
ARPU growth and 78% growth in channel bookings in Q2, both
year-over-year."
Record-Breaking Channel Growth
Fusion Connect and its partner community drove an incredible
248% average revenue per unit (ARPU) growth through the channel in
Q2, and realized 78% growth in channel bookings in Q2, both
year-over-year.
In today's economic climate, customers are looking to spend less
time managing technology and more time running their business,
according to leading reports. The result is a heightened
focus on vendor consolidation and cost optimization of their
technology investments. In fact, 95% of CIOs plan to consolidate
vendors in the next 12 months, looking for more strategic partners,
each with a broader degree of capabilities.
"Partnering with Fusion Connect is fantastic. Customers strongly
prefer Fusion Connect's solutions and value the exceptional
customer care and overall experience they receive," said
Jerry Goldman, CEO of Select
Communications, a leading Fusion channel partner. "Fusion
Connect enables customers to concentrate on their core business by
having Fusion manage their complex IT tasks, paving the way for
customer success. Fusion's comprehensive and innovative solutions
streamline operations, reduce downtime, and enhance productivity.
The positive feedback we receive from our customers speaks volumes
about the value Fusion Connect brings to their
operations."
"These standout results, in our second quarter at Fusion, stem
directly from our recent investments in the partner ecosystem, and
our enhanced focus on the channel, all as part of a complete
overhaul ushered in by new leadership here," said Pieter Uittenbogaard, Chief Revenue Officer at
Fusion Connect. "Our much-strengthened focus on the channel
means that our success this quarter is just the start, and the best
is yet to come. We strive to continually enhance our offerings and
to provide industry leading support to our channel partners,
resulting in greater success together."
