Logicalis Achieves Cisco Powered Designation for Unified
Communications Services
Slough, 21 April 2009 – International solutions
provider, Logicalis, today announces that it has achieved a Cisco
Powered Designation for Unified Communications services by
establishing the resources and procedures to deploy, manage and
deliver Cisco Powered Business Communication and Cisco Powered
Managed Unified Contact Centre services on a global basis.
Tom Kelly, managing director of Logicalis UK, comments, “As
businesses turn to managed services to secure operational
continuity and stabilise IT expenditure, suppliers are under
increasing competition to demonstrate their ability to deliver
enterprise-class services. The recognition from Cisco is a clear
endorsement of our expertise and highlights in particular our
international capabilities.”
A Cisco Powered designation recognises a solution provider’s
investment in the tools and processes necessary to provide
high-quality network-based managed services. It not only
acknowledges that the managed service provider has invested in
industry-leading Cisco solutions, but also entitles the solutions
provider to take advantage of Cisco resources to envision, build,
market and sell its managed services, contributing to market
acceptance and adoption.
“Managed services allows companies to align IT and business
goals, enabling them to focus scarce internal resources on their
core competencies while servicing day-to-day IT infrastructure and
operational needs through technology delivered as a service,” said
Jeff Spagnola, vice president of worldwide managed services for
Cisco. “By achieving a Cisco Powered designation, Logicalis has
made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge
necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing
demand.”
In addition, Logicalis’ participation in the Cisco Managed
Services Channel Program indicates that its Cisco Powered Unified
Communications services have undergone a rigorous third-party
assessment and have met requirements based on the Information
Technology Infrastructure Library® (ITIL) framework of best
practices and market and industry requirements.
