Logicalis joins Cisco TelePresence Elite
Slough, UK, 21st May 2010:
International solutions provider, Logicalis, today announces
that it has achieved Cisco Authorised Technology Partner (ATP)
status for TelePresence in Europe, North America and Latin America.
With the combined accreditations, Logicalis becomes part of an
elite group of Cisco partners recognised to have the advanced
tools, expertise and processes necessary to provide TelePresence
solutions to customers around the globe.
Simon Daykin, CTO of Logicalis UK, comments; “Gaining ATP status
not only demonstrates the commitment we have made to Cisco’s
TelePresence, but also the significant investment in our own
engineering expertise. With dedicated Cisco-certified TelePresence
technicians serving each region, our customers can be assured of
the best technical support and consultancy.
“This is complemented with ten years experience as a Tandberg
Partner which, following Cisco’s recent acquisition of Tandberg,
means we’re one of a handful of IT organisations with the combined
expertise to support our customer’s investments in either
product.”
In addition to its ATP status, Logicalis has also installed
TelePresence suites in four of its regional HQs - UK, Brazil,
Argentina, and North America – allowing customers the opportunity
to see the technology in use.
“We practice what we preach; investing in TelePresence suites
across the globe is significantly enhancing our own business,
increasing collaboration between our headquarters and reducing
travel time and costs,” continues Daykin.
The TelePresence ATP status adds significantly to Logicalis’
already strong capabilities in unified communications,
collaboration, data centre optimisation, outsourcing and managed
services.
Tom Kelly, MD of Logicalis UK concludes, “The recent volcanic
eruption has put the spotlight back on videoconferencing and other
collaborative technologies, accentuating the role these
applications can play in day-to-day operations as well as
continuity strategies. It’s now critical for organisations to
ensure basic unified communications capabilities are integrated
throughout their IT infrastructure.”
