Alliant Technologies in the News


Alliant Technologies has been gaining a lot of buzz in the press lately and we’re proud to keep sharing the good news. 

Alliant Technologies Named Platinum Solution Provider as Part of AT&Ts New APEX Reseller Program

In February, AT&T announced the launch of a new reseller program – AT&T Partner Exchange (APEX) – and Alliant is pleased to have been chosen as one of the few innovative solution providers asked to test, refine and grow the program.  The goal of APEX is to expand market reach for AT&T and its partners while delivering IP Network, Cloud Solutions and Mobility Managed Services to more businesses.  AT&T is opening up its application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow solution providers like Alliant to develop their own customized solutions for a differentiated and better customer experience. 

Alliant recognizes that companies everywhere are moving toward a new operations model; controlling costs and linking consumption to company growth through Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).  As a result, Alliant introduced a new way to consume technology with its Continuous Infrastructure Service™.  It’s designed to allow customers an easier way to purchase their infrastructure on a per-month, per-device basis and evolve that technology over time – the best part of the cloud.  This simplified and groundbreaking approach offers customers a better way to manage their IT infrastructure.

So when it comes to purchasing AT&T network, cloud and mobility services, customers can purchase the same network, access, and transport that they purchase from AT&T today with the added benefit of Alliant managing pricing, billing, provisioning, repair and monitoring as a turnkey ITIL compliant solution. This allows customers to enjoy the benefits of operating efficiencies including predictable cost, simplified billing and contracting, and a fully integrated solution that removes the customer risk associated with support for the network.

Alliant is delivering its enterprise customers brand new, fully managed Layer 3 MPLS networking solutions to support global voice, video and data applications.  We’re providing a simplified way to buy and administer global IP networks by utilizing the world’s best infrastructure to deliver these capabilities - the AT&T Worldwide Network.
