ALE, operating under the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise brand, is forming four regional sales organizations to better serve its partners, customers and their markets. By placing a focus on specific market segments for growth and accelerating the shift to new business models, each of the four regions will have its own dedicated sales staff supporting its defined industry-specific sales strategy, cloud sales strategy and channel strategy, with a complementary sales enablement and services delivery.

 

Within these four regional sales organizations, ALE will extend its successful industry approach in hospitality to the healthcare, education, government and transportation sectors.

ALE is building a specialized global Cloud Services sales organization to help partners and customers to understand how migration to the cloud can help them improve their business outcomes."

 

Complementing the industry and cloud specialization effort is an enriched channel sales organization. With a redesigned channel program that offer specializations, training and greater revenue possibilities, ALE is simplifying how partners do business with ALE and enabling them to tap into new revenue streams with innovative, consumption-based technologies.
