Louisville, Ky (March 25, 2009) — Smoothstone, a provider of fully managed Unified Communications services for the mid–sized enterprise, today announced that it has received a 2009 “Members Choice” award from the Telecom Association. Smoothstone was recognized for its overall program excellence by Telecom Association agent and channel partner voting members.

Smoothstone received the “Members Choice 2009” award only a week after achieving Cisco Managed Services Channel Partner (MSCP) designation.

“Winning TA´s annual “Members Choice” award in a specific category is a significant tribute to each winner´s telecom agent, channel partner and customer service programs,” stated TA Founder Dan Baldwin. “This is the fourth consecutive year for our annual Members Choice awards and over 320 qualified member ballots were cast this year, a new record.”

Founded in 1995, the Telecom Association is a professional membership organization consisting of 3,500 telecom agents, auditors, distributors, consultants, VARs and providers of telecom, data and IT products and solutions for businesses. Voting for the Members Choice 2009 Awards was open to active and independent telecom agents, auditors, consultants, VARs and other individuals who distribute or recommend telecom or data solutions directly to businesses and who have an informed opinion about which solution providers lead their industries.

“This award from such a prestigious professional organization helps solidify our position as a leading provider of hosted VoIP services,” mentioned Smoothstone Chief Marketing Officer James Whitemore. “Smoothstone has gained an honorable mention in past years, but this year´s recognition as one of the best in the industry is symbolic of our continued growth and success.”
