“We’ve experienced a tremendous growth in demand for cloud sales engineering support in the Central Region,” said Brandon Smith, Intelisys’ vice president of partner sales and business development – Central Region. “Our sales partners are getting into larger and larger opportunities, and require the support and local knowledge that only an experienced cloud engineering professional like Matt can provide.We know how important it is to our sales partners to have an expert like Matt at their disposal when it comes to landing, designing and implementing cloud solutions, and they need him in Chicago.”

As part of the Intelisys Cloud Services Team, which now includes regional cloud sales engineers in the East, West and Central regions, Bonomo will provide support to sales partners through the entire cloud sales process; business and application discovery personnel and resources; offering design; and project management.

In addition, he will provide turnkey onsite installation and training, equipment and professional services, and supplier interoperability testing and vetting.

“Cloud solutions grow more exciting and more extensive by the day,” Bonomo said. “As part of the Intelisys team, one of the things I’m most enthusiastic about is working with such an extensive and carefully selected group of cloud suppliers, and being able to recommend, position and design such a wide range of cloud solutions for our sales partners in the Central Region. As a Chicago native, I look forward to assisting our local and regional sales partners in really articulating the value of cloud.”

Intelisys says it’s looking for more cloud sales engineers; the Southeast region could be next.
