Posted on: Thursday, 22 May 2008, 18:00 CDT

TORONTO, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Dimension Data Canada Inc., a leading global IT services and solution provider, celebrates its first year of operations with a solid roster of clients and a growing portfolio of advanced certifications and specializations.

"Our first year of operations has been a rewarding one for Dimension Data Canada and we are delighted with the progress we've made in establishing and building a strong client base, securing Cisco certifications and specializations and working closely with Cisco to establish our presence here in Canada," said Wendy Lucas, area vice-president, Dimension Data Canada. "With our unique ability to work with clients on a national as well as global basis, we look forward to further building on this momentum and helping to ensure our clients with operations in Canada and around the world, meet their business objectives through the innovative use of advanced technologies."

Dimension Data's client roster includes 35 companies to date and is growing. One of Dimension Data's clients is MDS Analytical Technologies, a leading supplier of life sciences tools that comprises two major brands -- Molecular Devices Products and Sciex Products. MDS chose Dimension Data to assist in creating a next-generation infrastructure to integrate new office locations for both brands across the globe. The project includes the use of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and will incorporate Cisco Unified Communications, among other advanced technologies, in subsequent phases.

"Dimension Data Canada was an obvious choice for us, given their technology breadth, depth, and global reach that matched our global footprint," said Zeeshan Kazmi, Director of Global Infrastructure and Outsourcing Liaison, MDS Analytical Technologies. "We now have a ready model to expand and a platform that allows us to rollout new features and services to our customers."

MDS is joined by other Dimension Data clients including Xerox Canada Inc., and Wightman Telecom Ltd.

In addition to the focus on building its initial client base, Dimension Data Canada has also achieved certifications and specializations important to its success within the country.

-- Cisco certifications include: Gold Certification, TelePresence Advanced Technology Provider (ATP) status, and Global Commerce Specialization. -- Dimension Data Canada and Cisco recently signed an agreement to extend the company's Global Service Alliance partnership to Canada which will provide collaborative services offerings through Dimension Data's six Global Service Centers to Canadian businesses. -- By working closely together, Cisco and Dimension Data will identify and implement strategies, operational processes and solutions to better serve clients.
