Intact Integrated Services launches major Cisco Certification programme
Extending Cisco commitment with full Registered Partner, Smart Care and Select Partner statusIntact Integrated Services has announced that, following its recent transfer out of the Logicalis Group, it is undergoing a major Certification programme to reflect its position as the UK’s leading Cisco Service Extension Partner. Operating as an independent business, Intact has secured Cisco Registered Partner status, Cisco Smart Care partner status and Cisco Select Partner status.
Intact is an exclusively partner-focused organisation, and has built up a 40-strong team of project management, managed services and support professionals committed to providing lifecycle offerings to Cisco partners, systems integrators, telcos and service providers. A key part of the Intact proposition is its in-depth expertise in the development and implementation of innovative solutions based on Cisco’s Advanced Technology offerings including Unified Communications and Computing, Wireless, Security and Telepresence.
“Securing comprehensive Cisco certifications is an important way of signalling our long-term commitment to Cisco and its partners,” commented Bob Dalton, Intact Integrated Services’ Managing Director. “We’re already highly regarded as an independent provider of specialist project, support and managed services solutions to the Cisco partner community, and - now we’re operating as an independent organisation – we’re committed to strengthening our overall proposition by securing the highest levels of Cisco certification.
“As the UK’s leading Cisco Service Extension Partner we’ve built a growing reputation among the Cisco channel ecosystem, however we’re still keen to ensure that we’re recognised as a best practice provider of Cisco services and solutions to the broader market, including systems integrators, telcos and service providers, both in the UK and internationally,” he continued. “Securing the right Cisco certifications helps play an important part in this process.”
To support its business expansion, Intact has recently-moved into larger facilities in Ascot that feature Intact’s specialist Cisco Advanced Technology labs and testing facilities. Intact’s channel partner customers can draw on this important resource to help validate their Cisco technology solutions prior to end-user implementation.
Cisco’s Channel Partner programme provides channel organisations with the range of business and technology services needed to accelerate time-to-opportunity for their Cisco projects. The programme encourages channel partners to market their certified Cisco expertise as a competitive differentiator. Cisco Smart Care Service enables channel partners to utilise Cisco networking expertise, methodologies, technical tools and service infrastructure to create their own unique set of personalised services. Cisco Select Certified partners benefit from an increased level of support from Cisco, including access to best-in-class products and services, technical support, productivity tools, online training and marketing resources.
