Podcasts about partner conference

A great fit for the business depending on how you want to engage. “We're built for service providers to enable them to leverage their brand, which is a huge deal for service providers, to leverage their brand, leverage their carrier network if they like and have an award-winning modern UCaaS integrated CCaaS solution that they can offer to their customers to help grow revenues today,” says Patrick Sheehan, Vice President of Channel Development and Distribution at Intermedia. Intermedia Cloud Communications announced a strategic expansion of its partner program tailored to meet the distinct challenges faced by Service Providers (SPs). The announcement occurred in the run up to Channel Partners. “Intermedia has been around for a lot of years working with resellers, agents, MSPs, VARs, all types of businesses. So if you're in IT and you're providing any type of solutions we're a great, great fit for the business depending on how you want to engage. We've got an advisor model for those that are more of an agent. They like to sell a service and receive their commission. What's unique about our advisor model, why we don't call it the agent model, is because they're agents who want to have a little bit more control of their guests and they create quotes themselves in a portal and provides a beautiful proposal right out of the mat. They can sell and close that deal and then we'll handle the implementation, the billing and support beyond that. And they can be as involved in that process as they wish. Our reseller model, we call it the core. Customer ownership reseller model enables the VARs and MSPs, those are really wanting to bill and support the customers. We're built for that, which is a great solution for all those types of IT solution providers that really want to own that customer relationship, bill it, get that top line revenue, and set their pricing and their margins and leverage their brand or intermediate's brand.” Visit https://www.intermedia.com/

Fred Gordy reviews the president’s Cyberspace Policy and Marc Petock keeps the focus on Cybersecurity with excerpts from Lynxspring Exchange, and announces the release of Lynxspring’s Edge-to-Enterprise (E2E) Initiative. Also, watch great interviews with Belimo’s CEO, Lars van der Haegen and ACR’s Kevin Parsley. Cyber Legacy? I think that the president is looking to use cyber security as a “legacy” play for his last year in office. It is the one thing that most Americans, regardless of their party affiliation, will agree on and get behind. Cyber awareness is a good thing, but what does that look like coming from Washington? The only way to know this is to be informed. If you haven’t seen the Cyberspace Policy Review Final, you may want to look it over. It has both negative and positive aspects for businesses. Ask a Controls Expert with Chris Lane, Senior FX Product Manager at Johnson Controls who responds to Franklin from Florida’s question asking, “Will the Johnson Controls FX ASSET TOOL save him time, money, and programming?” Chris answers with a clarification: “The FX ASSET TOOL is really a money-maker because it streamlines the whole project and speaks the user’s language. It reduces the time it takes to bid, submit, order, and program a building automation controls job.” So, the Johnson Controls FX ASSET TOOL is a great way to save money and time on building automation controls project and installations. Lynxspring’s Marc Petock Offers Insight into Cyber Security. Dear Lynxspring Business Partner, when it comes to building automation and management systems, while they were once separate, they are now firmly integrated within a company’s network infrastructure and should not be treated differently when it comes to cyber security and threat protection.

Catching up with Belimo’s Lars van der Haegen. What makes an HVAC or Building Automation Controls company great?

Meachum in 1977 in Durham, NC. Troy and Kevin uphold the values that have earned ACR Supply Company the trust and loyalty of HVACR parts and supplies users throughout central North Carolina.

ControlTalk NOW for the week ending August 2, 2015 has two provocative cyber security posts from SmartCore’s cyber security evangelist and guru Fred Gordy, who shows us the ballistic cyber world with real-time Threat Maps and Shodan. Fred warns, “If you have setup a customer’s system that is directly connected to the internet, Shodan has either found it or will find it and put into its database for the world to see.” Read Ken Sinclair’s AutomatedBuildings and the August theme: Transformational Change our Mission Possible. DOE funds STEM training; Lynxspring Exchange updates; Easy IO’s Mike Marston with more Control Pub Talk; and Angie Jarvis and ProLon have a VAV Solution for you! Real-Time Threat Maps: If you haven’t seen these maps, it can be eye opening. These are real-time and/or near real-time threat maps that are readily available online. Various companies who are touting their cyber security offering like to throw these up behind them during photo ops. They are impressive, but more importantly they show us the unseen cyber world and the fact we are under attack. Shodan – Are Your Sites Listed?If you haven’t heard what Shodan is and why do we care, I would suggest you get familiar with it. Shodan has been called the “Google” for the internet of things (IoT). Shodan is continually cataloging web facing, connected devices such as control systems, computers, CRACs, power systems, etc. Why should we care? We should care because if you have setup a customer’s system that is directly connected to the internet, Shodan has either found it or will find it and put into its database for the world to see.
