The company’s annual partner awards staged last month at the LifeSize Asia Pacific business partner conference in Bangkok recognised channel partner success using a variety of criteria, including technical and sales certifications, product competencies, year-on-year growth, achievements against measurable objectives in areas such as annual billings, and percentage of new business earned.

Based in Sydney and with offices in Brisbane and Melbourne, IPL Communications is a value-added distributor of leading-edge telecommunications, focusing on solutions aimed at small to medium enterprises.

“VExpress is proud to have been awarded the LifeSize ANZ best performing partner for 2011-12.  We believe this award reflects the capability and achievements of our channel partners and the confidence they have placed in us.
