"We are strongly committed to the Houston Region, which is not only the fourth largest market in the United States, but also an area where NACR is a proven communications solutions provider," said John Behnken, National Vice President of NACR.

The company works closely with Avaya and other leading technology innovators to integrate best-in-class hardware, software, and applications into end-to-end multivendor solutions.
"In his eight years at NACR, Mike has demonstrated leadership not only in sales performance, but also in bringing extraordinary customer focus to the sales, consulting, and support process," said David Garlich, Southern Region Vice President at NACR. "His and his team's dedication to helping customers use communications technology to solve problems and realize added value will be a tremendous asset to every customer — existing and potential — in the region."
In addition to ACACM certification, Tooley has more than 20 years of experience in Avaya solutions, including prior positions in senior account and channel management at Avaya and Lucent Technologies, and has been a recipient of Avaya's coveted President's Award.
