With 2020 being the catalyst for the Rise of Video and the opportunity for the IT channel still growing, we would like to remind our partners of the ways we can support them with their video offering. The 10 reasons listed below explain ways our team can help ease your workload when it comes to keeping up with end-user video requirements and demand.
1 Industry Leading Vendor Portfolio: When working with Nuvias UC, partners are spoilt for choice. Whether your customer is looking to onboard a new video platform, enhance their video experience with video hardware, or looking integrate multiple platforms and devices together, we can help with our industry-leading vendor portfolio. When it comes to video platforms, take your pick from Pexip, Lifesize, Zoom, or BlueJeans. If you’re not sure on the platform best suited to your customer, we can talk through the various options. Then, once we know what the platform is, we can help find the best cameras, headsets, speakerphones, conference phones, video codecs, and collaboration bars from leading vendors such as Poly, Yealink, and EPOS – that includes devices for Microsoft environments too!
2. Eco-system Knowledge: When Nuvias UC (formerly Siphon) was built in 2009, the aim was to provide technical integration skills to support smaller service-providers. Fast forward 12 years, although we’ve expanded across Europe, supporting both service providers and resellers of all sizes and specialties, our knowledge around system integration remains. Our team is familiar with Microsoft, Cisco WebEx, Zoom, Lifesize, Pexip, BlueJeans, RingCentral, and 8×8 environments, so can support our partners when looking to build out the full video or UC eco-system.
3. Easy ways to purchase: Placing orders for your video kit doesn’t need to be time-consuming. Nuvias UC has built a multi-tiered, fully brandable webstore to make it easy for you to purchase. But that’s not the best bit – Our in-house development team-built HUB as a multi-tiered platform for you to utilise, with your customers. “By the year 2040, it’s estimated that 95% of all purchases will be through E-commerce*”. But with Hub, you can get there in 2021! You can brand HUB as your own, stock it with your solutions and enable an easy way for your customers to shop for their solutions. Better yet, you have access to all inventory and billing via the Hub dashboard.
4. Centralised Device Provisioning and Management: Dovetail is our own end-point CPE provisioning platform, built from the ground up with the channel in mind, to pinpoint any potential problems in service delivery and proactively deal with any issues before they arise. By taking advantage of this service, you can save time and money during deployment processes and smooth out your customers’ experience in acquiring and using a unified communications service.
5. Flexible Payment Options: Now more than ever, investment in new video technology for both remote working and in the office can place undue pressure on a companies’ cash flow. Our GoMonthly and Device-as-a-Service offerings solve just that. GoMonthly offers flexible financing on video hardware orders of £1000+ placed via our online webstore, Hub. Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) is also available for larger projects outside of Hub, for partners/end-users who want to implement a payment plan to incorporate our services and cloud solutions.
6. Our Team is Your Team: Did you know, that “59% of B2B marketers say email is their most effective channel in terms of revenue generation?**” . We understand that some partners are limited on internal resource and therefore, marketing isn’t #1 priority. That’s why, we offer the help of our in-house marketeers, who are aligned to specialise in each of our video vendors, as well as marketing development funds to help get the campaigns off the ground. The team is on hand to support with co-branding assets, tweaking campaigns to make them suited to end-user reading, or even to help with building and execution of your own marketing plans.

Dedicated Renewals Team: ‘Increasing customer retention by 5% results in a minimum 25% increase in profit’*** Whether it be platform contracts or maintenance contracts, our dedicated renewals team maintain visibility of or your customers, after the close of the initial sale, to allow our team to be as proactive as 90 days ahead of the contract end date.
