Integra Telecom Named Top Dealer at 2008 Mitel Business Partner Forum

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 27, 2008 - Integra Telecom, a facilities-based, integrated communications carrier for business, was named the number one dealer by Mitel® at its 2008 Business Partner Forum held in late January. Mitel, a provider of unified communications solutions and applications for organizations of all sizes, recently consolidated its PARTNERprogram following the company's August 2007 merger with Inter-Tel. The award is based on Integra's 2007 Mitel product and service purchase volume. Integra has earned the top ranking position six years in a row.

In 2007, Integra's Mitel purchases exceeded $6 million, making it the first Mitel dealer to reach that benchmark. The company was one of more than 800 accredited solutions providers in the U.S. eligible to receive the award.

"It's an honor to be recognized by Mitel for the work that we do to enhance business communication systems," said Michael Evans, vice president of business telephone systems for Integra Telecom. "Mitel's PARTNERprogram has been extremely valuable to Integra. We look forward to collaborating with the company in 2008 as we continue to expand our product and service offerings."

Mitel's PARTNERprogram provides resellers with access to a comprehensive range of support programs including sales and technical training, pre- and post-sales support, and access to around-the-clock technical support.
