A huge congratulations go out to each Top Partner, all of whom continue to reinvest in their business, leverage more Telarus resources than their peers, and focus on selling next-generation cloud products. 2019 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for our top partners, and we look forward to their continued success. Everything we do as a company, every dollar we reinvest, it’s to fuel their growth.”
