Systems integrators specialize in bringing together component subsystems into a whole and ensuring that those subsystems function together. The Systems Integrator Alliances (SIA) sales channel works with leading systems integrators and the Qwest Business Markets Group to identify areas where Qwest products and services can integrate with the system integrator's IT product portfolio to provide maximum value to the systems integrators and their end-user clients.
Qwest identifies the areas of specialization of each systems integrator and seeks to understand your unique market requirements and business challenges. We work within your sales and delivery structure, offering a unique and valuable Qwest solution. Then, we facilitate the development and completion of turnkey Qwest telecom services, together with value-added IT solutions not found in the Qwest portfolio of services.
