Go lands prestigious Alcatel-Lucent award

Communications group Go plc has been recognised by Alcatel-Lucent as one of its most customer-focused business partners at a global meeting of the network solutions provider’s partners and value-added distributors.

Go Business landed one of the four high-powered Alcatel-Lucent Awards designed specifically to showcase top performing partners in aspects of their sales experience.

The four Alcatel-Lucent awards were Best Forecast Accuracy, which was picked up by Nextira One, Best Commitment to Alcatel-Lucent, won by Comtel, Best Supportive Partner achieved by Edslan, and the Best-Win-Against-Competition Award won by Go.

The Maltese company won for its continued drive and motivation towards strengthening Alcatel-Lucent’s presence among its business customers.

Go’s business team – in particular its sales representative Amanda Abela – was singled out as winner of the award from a large number of high-status communications companies.

Ms Abela made an excellent job of securing a top-notch local key client for Alcatel-Lucent. It was through the efforts of the Go Business team that a local company opted for ALU solutions as their first communications choice despite stiff competition.

The partnership with Alcatel-Lucent results in solutions from the high-tech ALU portfolio for Go Business clients. Firms purchasing hardware from Go, including PBX systems, are entitled to round-the-clock support from Go’s technical team and receive offers on Alcatel systems and payment options.

Go’s partnership with Alcatel-Lucent spans more than 20 years. The catalyst of this relationship was Alcatel-Lucent’s extensive involvement in Go’s submarine cable system linking Malta to Italy.

Alcatel-Lucent designed and manufactured the submarine cable system, based on its dense wavelength division multiplexing technology and cables, with the capacity, in future, to be upgraded easily and cost-effectively.
