“Our collaboration was further solidified when [National Channel Manager] Katie Vukovic, Matt Douglass, and [Field CTO] Jon Lloyd traveled with me to Dallas to provide extensive training to the Sandler engineering team,” said CBTS National Channel Manager Mark Bennett. “We focused on our best-of-breed OEM managed services offerings to ensure that Sandler’s engineers were well-equipped with the knowledge needed to leverage our solutions effectively. This hands-on training is just one example of our commitment to empowering our partners with the resources and expertise they need to succeed.”

“What stands out in this relationship is the consistent flow of large, complex opportunities that Sandler continues to bring to the table,” said Vukovic. “Their trust in our capabilities has resulted in several high-profile projects and we're excited to keep building on this foundation. The challenges presented by these opportunities are exactly the kind of projects we thrive on and we look forward to tackling more together.”
