Logicalis announced today it will receive two
Geographical Awards at the Cisco Partner Summit 2006, being held in
San Diego, California. The awards recognise Logicalis as Gold
Partner of the Year, and as Services Partner of the Year,
highlighting excellent performance over the last year in the United
Kingdom.
The Gold Partner of the Year Award was awarded to Logicalis for
consistently leading the way in providing customers and partners
with innovative, market leading services, solutions and
applications, whilst gaining expertise in three Cisco Systems
specialisations and achieving a consistent high level of customer
satisfaction. Logicalis received this accolade for exceeding the
requirements of the partner program in all aspects and
demonstrating exceptional commitment to delivering Cisco Systems'
technologies.
The Services Partner of the Year Awards was awarded to Logicalis
because it went further than any other partner to integrate Cisco's
services portfolio into its overall proposition. Logicalis has
consistently provided its customers and partners with innovative,
market leading services, solutions and applications to become a
trusted business advisor to its clients. Logicalis was chosen for
attaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction through the
use of specialised services to support new technology
deployments.
Tom Kelly, Managing Director, Logicalis Network Solutions (LNS)
commented, "Pride in Logicalis' recognition, by Cisco Systems, as
Gold Partner of the Year and Services Partner of the Year extends
throughout the dedicated team of people who have delivered the
excellence acknowledged by these two awards."
Discussing their significance, Kelly added, "When taken
individually these awards demonstrate the commitment that Logicalis
has made to their respective Cisco Systems customers. Embracing
advanced technology solutions is a Logicalis strength, as is our
continual commitment to delivering innovation and business value to
the customers adopting them. This marks us out as a leader and
trusted partner in the UK and Ireland market.
The group's service organisation has dedicated itself to
delivering the highest quality support services both via its direct
sales channels, as well as via its independent white label brand,
Intact Networks, to a growing network of Authorised and Premier
Certified Cisco Systems channel partners throughout the UK and
Ireland. This quite clearly places them in the highest echelon of
service delivery organisations."
Bob Dalton, Head of Logicalis Service adds, "Together, the
awards communicate a clear message to the industry; a determination
for excellence, in both solutions delivery and support services,
setting new benchmarks for excellence by the Logicalis group."
Duncan Mitchell, Vice President, UK and Ireland commenting on
the Logicalis Network Solutions Gold Partner award "Logicalis has
focussed on providing secure, converged network solutions to our
joint customers. By redefining their go to market strategy with
Cisco in FY06, Logicalis have had a truly magnificent year.
Engaging in joint planning with our commercial teams has driven
incremental revenue through joint sales and marketing activities.
Logicalis, working closely with Cisco has conclusively proven that
commitment, engagement, focus and innovation lead to outstanding
results on the bottom line."
Duncan Mitchell, Vice President, UK and Ireland commenting on
the Logicalis Service Partner award said, "Logicalis have
experienced impressive services market growth this year, especially
within the UK mid-market. Creating a new division focussed solely
on services has been a very successful move. The go to market
strategy via Authorised and Premier Partners, combined with the
strength of delivery, has been instrumental in driving our advanced
technology penetration with these partners. You're an obvious
