XO Communications (News - Alert), Inc., has announced record results for its 2010 XO Business Partner Program, and has released its list of top-performing indirect sales partners. Intelisys, a distributor of voice, data and Internet access services, has topped the partner list.

“2010 was a banner year for the XO Business Partner program," said Brian Law, national vice president of indirect channels at XO. “We had double-digit growth in both revenue and sales, and 2010 was our best sales year ever. This is a testament to quality and value of the IP and managed network services XO offers to our partners."

The 2010 results show communications service provider XO's success with midmarket and enterprise customers as well as next-gen services, said Law. Midmarket, enterprise and Fortune 1000 customers comprised 54 percent of sales, while 20 percent of sales came from new customers spending $25,000 per month or more. Law said the top-selling services included MPLS IP VPN, Ethernet and SIP.

“Intelisys and XO shared an epic performance year, blowing away previous years' top partner growth by historic proportions," said Jay Bradley, president, Telecom Services, at Intelisys. The company tripled sales over 2009, according to XO. “Intelisys Sales Partners are the best in the business at raising the bar and nearly tripling the high-water mark for new sales in a single year. All of us at Intelisys are incredibly grateful to our sales partners for all their hard work, and to the dozens of sales and support professionals with both companies that made 2010 such a breakout year. This is just one more example of the huge opportunity we all have to grow our businesses and to grow this channel in ways many did not believe possible."
