CHICAGO, October 09, 2024 – AVANT, a platform for IT decision-making and the nation’s premier Technology Services Distributor (TSD), today announced that it has been named Zoom Video Communications, Inc.’s Americas Technology Services Distributor Partner for 2024.

Acknowledging AVANT for its outstanding leadership in empowering Trusted Advisors to excel in delivering Zoom’s industry-leading AI-first solutions, the award was presented at Zoomtopia Partner Connect 2024, Zoom’s annual partner-focused event in the Americas. Held annually, this event is designed to inform and inspire partners about Zoom’s vision, enable them to enhance their Zoom practice, take advantage of new program updates, and celebrate their successes.
“The commitment and support of our partner ecosystem are crucial to Zoom’s success which is why it’s an honor to recognize all of this year’s partner of the year award recipients – we couldn’t have done it without them,” said Mike Conlon, Head of Americas Channel at Zoom. “These partners are integral in delivering our AI-first solutions, including Zoom Workplace, Zoom Contact Center, Zoom Phone, Zoom Rooms, Workvivo, and more to customers around the globe, helping them to reimagine teamwork, enable more connection, and boost productivity.”

The company achieves this through its deep bench of subject matter experts, training resources, sales enablement support teams, AVANT ANALYTICS, a division of AVANT that focuses on market research of today’s most disruptive technologies, and PATHFINDER, its industry-leading technology sales platform.
“As the first TSD to bring Zoom to the channel, AVANT is incredibly proud of the role we have played in shaping their channel program,” said Ian Kieninger, CEO, AVANT. “Not only has our Zoom partnership been a game-changer for our UCaaS business, but our collaboration is also helping our Trusted Advisors take advantage of the tremendous growth opportunities available to them in this very quickly expanding market.
