“Aethra is a great example of a highly diversified hardware company that needed a focused and targeted sales campaign for a very specific line of business, and instead of investing in the hard costs of building out a program, turned to Adivent and its established network of telecom sales professionals,” said Gianni Burzi, managing partner at Adivent. “We look forward to working together with Aethra and helping the company grow its market share in Central European.”

Adivent will focus on helping increase sales of Aethra’s industry leading network products, including its carrier-grade gateway, ISDN and xDSL systems.

In addition, Adivent offers complete transparency into sales campaign progress and direct access to and directional input with its new sales force.

“When we decided to focus more sales resources toward our network systems within Central Europe, the challenge was to find the most effective solution to optimize penetration, and valorize our range of networking products in these markets,” said Marco Viezzoli, CEO of Aethra. “With Adivent, we can quickly begin the selling process at a fraction of the cost and leverage the experience and professionalism of its established network of sales associates.”
