Access4 is a channel-only provider that eliminates common barriers to entry that prevent MSPs from selling Unified Communications. With Access4, partners can access new revenue opportunities by offering voice services, without the heavy lifting.

Access4 SASBOSS provides partners with an automated, singular platform to sell, provision and invoice voice customers. End-to-end partner enablement and the power of the SASBOSS platform has successfully opened the Unified Communications and voice market up for MSPs, and created 100% growth year-on-year for Access4.

It scales as you grow and provides smart ways to leverage Crayon’s expertise to support your customers and reduce your business overheads.
We believe Managed Service Providers are best positioned to sell cloud voice and communication tools to businesses in ANZ. That’s why our partner program accelerates every department in your business.
Access4 is a channel only communication technology provider that allows partners to sell, provision and support carrier-grade cloud voice and Unified Communications (UC) products to their customer base. These cloud products are built off Cisco’s BroadWorks platform and provide reliable and industry-leading services for the global market.
Access4 has built a unique proposition by integrating BroadWorks into the Microsoft Teams environment and providing direct routing. Its solution also allows the same direct in dial (DiD) number to be present on both a BroadWorks registration and an MS Teams user.
As Access4 is sold via the channel only, partners are assured of a non-competitive partner that will help secure new business and open up additional revenue streams.
Access4 believe that Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are better suited to selling unified communications to businesses than the big telcos – but getting into the market requires an astronomical financial and technical investment.
Access4’s platform and partner program removes these barriers and enables MSPs to start selling unified communications at speed.
By becoming an Access4 partner, an MSP receives the following from day one:
Access4’s channel unified communication ecosystem is built on top of BroadSoft that brings together solutions from different vendors and allow partners to manage them through one simple to use platform: SASBOSS which is also integrated with the tools MSPs are using, including Xero, Salesforce, and Connectwise.
SASBOSS is Access4’s one-stop, singular platform to provision, manage and invoice customers. With an intuitive interface, clever tools and features, there is no need for technical experts as anyone in the business can manage unified communications sales.
SASBOSS offers the following benefits:
Adding unified communications with Access4 allows Crayon partners to upsell licenses, devices, voice and data on top of their current Office/M365 licenses. It also adds greater value to your customer when offering both Office/Microsoft 365 managed services and voice services.
The next question is why partners should partner with Access4 instead of building their own voice solution, which is summarised in the table below:
Access4 solution works for customers of different sizes, whether they have 1 – 1000 seats
Access4 offers unified collaboration solutions on a product that the customer is already using ie Microsoft Teams.
