I have great news for businesses and organizations looking for networking and telecom equipment installers, dealers and technicians. T1LinePrices.com and The Var Network have developed a search tool that allows businesses to find local certified dealers for manufacturers such as Mitel, Lucent, Cisco, Avaya, NEC, 3Com, Toshiba, Vodavi, Nortel and many others.
Well doesn't the phone book provide the same info?
Yes, but when a customer selects a dealer thru this tool they are asked for feedback on the quality of service. Too much negative feedback and the installer or dealer is dropped from the directory. This insures only top quality reputable dealers are listed. The phone book does not provide that service.
Here is a sample page for Nortel Equipment Installers.
The system requires you to complete a very short registration form so that you may provide feedback and keep the tool honest.
