SAN ANTONIO, April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digerati Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:DTGI) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Synergy Telecom, has partnered with Telecom Consulting Group (“TCG”), a Master Agency located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for launching Synergy’s ‘Channel Program’ across TCG’s widespread Agent network. As a Master Agent for over twenty-five years, TCG has grown to become one of the premier Master Agencies throughout the U.S. by providing hands on support and excellent service to its partners.
This relationship will offer TCG’s agents the ability to access Synergy Telecom’s VoIP platform by providing highly-reliable Unified Communications and SIP solutions to their customers. In addition to Synergy’s award-winning Cloud PBX platform, agents can utilize Synergy’s robust partner quoting and customer management tools to help them better sell and service clients. This efficiency, along with an ‘always on-site installation team,’ gives agents the ability to focus on selling and growing their customer base, rather than dealing with operational issues.
"TCG is an incredible partner for us to collaborate with, and when working with their staff, you can clearly capture why they have grown to become one of the country’s leading Master Agencies,” stated, Ryan McDowell, Synergy's VP of New Business Development.
Charlie Slaughter, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Synergy, further commented, "The opportunity to work with a well-respected industry leader like TCG really excites us. We look forward to delivering our award-winning sales tools and passion for customer service to TCG’s 3,000 plus agents nationwide.”
As previously announced, the Company retained the “Synergy Telecom” name and continued building on Synergy’s established name and brand affinity within its high-growth cloud-telephony (UCaaS) market. Digerati announced the acquisition of Synergy in December of 2017 and reported its plan to combine Synergy’s business with that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shift8 Networks, Inc. (“Shift8”).
