PRG Group has signed an agreement with HS Telecom to provide technical support services for all Avaya IP platforms and systems. The agreement provides HS Telecom with access to project managers, engineers, and software specialists without adding headcount to the HS Telecom payroll.

PRG Group said that this agreement is the first formal relationship the company has signed since it expanded its business model to deliver a suite of professional services to dealers and distributors.

HS Telecom, is a telecommunications and data networking company selling IP communication systems and services. The company’s alliance with Avaya and other hardware manufacturers allows it to access a knowledge base, which in turn allows it to offer a range of resources to its clients.

Shawn McDermott, president and CEO of HS Telecom, said: Over the years we’ve delivered on a high number of complex and critical installations on time and within budget. We wanted to extend and preserve our ability to continue doing so while growing our bottom line. The access to additional high quality technical resources brought on by partnering with PRG allows us to do so while continuing to ensure our ability to deliver beyond our customers’ expectations.

“With an experienced internal team supplemented by highly skilled PRG personnel we can build our business and maintain our focus on finishing projects on a timely basis, within budget and with high quality results. PRG will also gain from our experience and be able to increase the value of its offerings to other like-minded partners.

Uma Pandey, president and CEO for PRG Group, said: In leveraging our ability to bring highly skilled technical resources domestically and abroad, we are able to offer almost all communication providers with a cost effective technical solution to managing their customer’s voice and data networks. Now, our customers can focus on re-energising their sales and marketing efforts because they now have a supplemental support organisation that can be available at a moments notice.
