From the director’s desk
Valued Partners,
As we enter the fourth quarter, now is the time to finish 2026 strong while laying the groundwork for an even more successful 2027. For our Vantage Unified Communications partners, Q4 represents two opportunities: closing business already in the pipeline and building a healthy funnel that can produce results immediately in the new year. Year-end conversations are a natural opportunity to engage customers around technology budgets, operational improvements, communications upgrades, and plans for 2027. We encourage our partners to revisit existing opportunities, reconnect with customers, and identify organizations that may be ready to modernize their communications environment. Our channel managers are eager to assist with these conversations!
Artificial intelligence continues to reshape the SaaS and VoIP industries. AI-powered integrations are expanding the value of business communications through smarter call handling, automation, transcription, analytics, CRM integration, and improved customer engagement. These capabilities give our partners new reasons to start conversations beyond simply replacing a phone system. Vantage Unified remains committed to providing innovative solutions, competitive opportunities, and superior support to our partner community. We’re also preparing several exciting additions to our portfolio during Q4 and Q1 of 2027 that will create new opportunities for our partners and their customers.
Let’s finish 2026 strong—and enter 2027 with momentum!
Happy hunting,

PARTNER Shout-Out
Vantage is thrilled to introduce our new partner, Cybersecurity Advisory Group.
Add Security Leadership to Your Service Line
Your clients are asking harder security questions. Can you get us ready for SOC 2? What will our insurer want to see at renewal? Who approves the AI tools our staff already use? Clients bring these questions to you first because they trust you. Most of them need security leadership more than another tool, and that’s work we can take on together.
I’m Melissa Thornton, founder of Cybersecurity Advisory Group, and I work as a fractional CISO alongside MSPs and IT providers. Your client gets a CISO. You keep the client and the environment.
What a partnership gives you:
- vCISO without the hire. No full-time security salary on your books.
- A partner, not a competitor. I don’t sell managed services or run infrastructure.
- A way to say yes to compliance work. SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, cyber insurance readiness and AI governance.
- Findings that become approved projects. Assessments end in a prioritized roadmap the client signs off on. The implementation work in your scope comes to you already defined.
Your client relationship stays yours. Roles are written down before any work begins, findings are reviewed together before the client sees them, and your tools stay in place.
My work is predominantly in healthcare, but not exclusively. I also support small and midsize businesses and private equity portfolio companies.
Most partnerships start with one client need. Bring the situation, and we’ll decide together whether it’s a fit and where to start.
