Presidio Achieves Top Cisco Status

Presidio Networked Solutions said it has achieved Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco Systems.

The specialization recognizes channel partners that have the most in-depth technology skills and proven track record of customer success in selling, deploying and supporting Cisco Unified Communication solutions, the company said. Presidio is the fifth company to attain the specialization.

To achieve the specialization, channel partners must attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. Partners then meet a series of stringent requirements in three categories: technology capabilities, sales expertise and lifecycle services offerings. Partners also need to earn a range of Cisco and industry-standard technical certifications, including Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) in voice.

The award requires that partners demonstrate sales traction by continually maintaining five customer references and demonstrate the infrastructure to support a full menu of lifecycle service offerings and capabilities, with emphasis on day-two support and optimization services, Presidio said.
