VarNetwork is another project by Adam Edwards and Patrick Oborn the founders of ShopforT1.com, the web site that helps owners of small businesses to compare T1 service, with the most updated prices and availability. VarNetwork.com is designed to help business owners find the right VAR for their business.
The term “VAR” stands for Value Added Reseller. In contrast to a retailer, who can sell you a telephone, an mp3 player, etc., a “value added reseller” is someone who is:
1. Authorized to sell you a specific brand of telecom equipment
2. Certified as a skilled technician to support the hardware he/she sells.
Most business telephone systems are somewhat complex in nature. The vast majority of PBX and VoIP hardware is not “plug and play”. A skilled technician is required to program the system according to the customer’s needs.
Likewise, most new commercial telephone systems cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer or any other retail outlet – you have to buy them from a local authorized sales partner. This means that VARs in your local area perform both the role of technician and also as equipment dealers.
Telarus understands that sometimes business owners don't know where to go for the services they need. Sometimes the technician that served a business is out of business themselves like the last customers situation I had. That's when the VarNetwork comes in handy.
With VarNetwork.com entrepreneurs can easily find technicians that sell and/or install the commercial telecom equipment they need. When a person uses VarSearch™ with the first piece of information that he/she has to submit is their zip code, in the next step the questions are more specific, such as: if the equipment needed is telecom or information technology. There about 3 steps with specific questions that need to be answered before seeing a list with the most relevant VARs. however the effort is compensated when varsearch shows you the results.
It gives you a list of all the VARS and their capabilities available near your exact location. It shows you a brief paragraph with information about the VAR and a list of features, equipment , brands etc. offered. If for some reason the VAR the customer selected does not have the equipment the business owner is looking for, he will send the lead to another VAR that does, so, the customer is assisted no matter what.
Telarus is a company that specializes in simplifying the search of commercial telecom services. Since the development of GeoQuote™, Telarus has gained important presence in the commercial telecom industry. the VarSearch™ platform matches customers with the right PBX or network equipment dealer the same way The GeoQuote™ platform does with the best Internet service carrier.
T1 Plus Communications is an independent company affiliated with Telarus. To find a VAR for your business visit VarNetwork.com
