Bezeq International joins BT Alliance with gold partner status

BT and Bezeq International announced today that Bezeq International has joined the BT Alliance programme with a Gold Partner status, making it easier and more cost-effective for multinational companies in Israel to take advantage of BT’s global networked IT services capabilities. Bezeq International is the first BT Alliance partner in Israel.

In order to reach Gold Partner status, Bezeq International had to meet demanding requirements, including guaranteed quality of services and successful completion of help desk certification.

BT Alliance is a global partner programme, established to support BT Global Services in the selling, distribution and support of a range of products and services from across the BT portfolio through a global network of partners. The BT Alliance programme was officially launched in 2008 and comprises over 100 partners around the world.

Bezeq International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bezeq, the Israeli Telecom Corporation, is the country’s leading internet and international telecommunications provider.

BT has a well established relationship with Bezeq International. The two companies have been working together on delivering networked IT services to multinational companies in Israel over the past seven years, with customers including leading local providers of financial services and manufacturing companies.

Olivier Campenon, BT president multinational companies, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said “We are delighted to welcome Bezeq International to our global alliance with a Gold Partner status, which reflects commitment to quality and customer success.”

Speaking at a customer event in Tel Aviv to celebrate the occasion, Olivier added: “The local partnership model gives businesses access to world-class global network services, while dealing with a trusted local partner, in their own language and currency.”

Isaac Benbenisti, chief executive officer, Bezeq International, said “BT’s choice of Bezeq International as its sole partner shows its faith in our company as the leading provider of global telecommunication solutions in Israel. This co-operation provides multinational companies with presence in Israel access to the full range of BT’s services and solutions.”
