Dear NextGen Subscribers, Customers and Channel Partners,

Recently we expanded our presence worldwide by opening an AudioCodes office in Mexico and establishing local representatives in India. These representatives are assigned to work closely with our channel partners, help them identify new opportunities and promote AudioCodes' brand.

AudioCodes' local offices will play an important role for better understanding and responding to local market requirements and opportunities. To empower our channel partners we are planning the launch of our new Channel Partner Web Portal in the near future.

This portal is designed to become the focal content source for sales, marketing, technical support, tools and information for our channel partners. Access to this portal will be granted to registered AudioCodes channel partners and application partners. The content in the portal will include tools like E-learning, product presentations and datasheets, marketing communication resources, channel programs and promotions.

AudioCodes is a unique company in the VoIP space. We are one of the only companies in the marketplace controlling its own destiny, by selling all components in the VoIP media gateway "food" supply chain: from VoIP chips and modules, via VoIP PCI/cPCI/ATCA boards, up to media gateway and media server high density systems. As we design, develop and sell such a diverse range of products, our channels into the market include, on one hand: resellers, system integrators and distributors — who sell our systems to the end customers; on the other hand: application partners and OEMs — who integrate our enabling technology and networking products into their solutions.

The Channel Partner Portal will enable system integrators to find third-party application/solution partners to complement their customer offerings. The portal will include a list of small to large application partners that use AudioCodes' technology in their products and interoperate with AudioCodes' systems.

AudioCodes' Channel Partner Portal will help developers access the market by introducing their AudioCodes-based products/solutions to our channel partners.

Sincerely,

Gary Drutin
Vice President, Channel Operations and Marketing
