Enterprise connectivity deals rarely fall apart at the negotiating table. They fall apart later in delivery, when a project spans multiple carriers, multiple sites, and multiple points of failure that no single relationship can manage alone. Point5 calls this the Execution Gap: the space between what carriers promise and what enterprises actually experience once the contract is signed.
Point5 Managed Services was built to close that gap. Today, that mission reaches further: Point5 has joined Sandler Partners, North America’s leading independent Technology Solutions Distributor, bringing its practitioner-led model to Sandler’s nationwide network of technology experts, VARs, and MSPs.
What Point5 brings to the table
As a Managed Connectivity Provider (MCP), Point5 owns the end-to-end design, sourcing, delivery, and post-sale support, helping multi-site enterprises in pharma, finance, AEC, and healthcare move off legacy MPLS and manage complex global footprints.
That means senior practitioners stay engaged on the account, not just through the sale, but through the entire lifecycle of the deal. Point5 focuses on the enterprises with the most complexity to manage: multi-site, global, and regulated organizations across pharma, finance, AEC, and healthcare, with services spanning:
- Data optimization
- Connectivity and colocation sourcing
- Network transformation, including migrations off legacy MPLS
Why this matters for the channel
For Sandler’s partners, complex, multi-site connectivity deals have long posed a familiar risk: the relationship is there, but the delivery isn’t guaranteed. Point5 changes that equation. Partners bring the client relationship; Point5 carries the delivery risk and owns what happens next — direct engineer access included.
As Brandon Byrne, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Point5, explains, execution — not just carrier relationships — is what determines whether complex deals succeed. That practitioner-led approach is now available to every Sandler partner pursuing high-value connectivity opportunities in regulated and global environments.
Sandler’s Mark Phaneuf, SVP, Channel East and Canada, echoed that value, noting that Point5 opens the door to suppliers around the world that haven’t traditionally been available through the channel and that the partnership has already produced significant wins.
What’s next
Through this partnership, Sandler Partners can now offer clients the full range of Point5’s capabilities — from data and voice optimization to colocation sourcing, MPLS migration, and post-sale support with direct engineer access.
For technology experts and MSPs working on complex, high-stakes connectivity deals, Point5 is now one call away.
