Apptis Technology Solutions (ATS) Achieves Cisco Gold Partner Certification for Sixth Straight Year

Posted on: Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 09:00 CDT

Apptis Technology Solutions (ATS), a division of Apptis, Inc., and a technology solutions provider and value-added reseller, announced today that it has completed all requirements for maintaining Cisco Gold Partner Certification. This includes advanced specializations in unified communications, routing, switching, security and wireless LAN as well as satisfying specific personnel, support and customer satisfaction goals. ATS undergoes Cisco's rigorous partner audit yearly to retain Gold status. This designation lets end customers know that they are partnering with an organization that has the knowledge and capabilities to meet their solution requirements.

"Every year ATS raises the bar internally and elevates its level of expertise to stay ahead of the curve providing a continuous vision of market differentiation and value to its partnership with Cisco. We're very proud to be among the elite group of Cisco Gold Partners," said Rene LaVigne, President and Chief Operating Officer of ATS. "Working with a market leader such as Cisco, our customers know we will provide the best, most innovative solutions available for their IT infrastructure - no matter how complex."

As a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, ATS demonstrates its depth of knowledge and expertise in selling, installing and supporting Cisco solutions across multiple technology disciplines. The company employs more than 70 Cisco certified individuals, which support the entire lifecycle sales and support of Cisco Advanced Technology Offerings.

"ATS is committed to providing the best solutions and support for our customers," added Mitzi Rivoire, Vice President of Partner Alliances. "As a Cisco Gold Partner we have access to best-in-class products and services, technical support, productivity tools and online training to enable us to provide the highest level of support to our customers. We see the IT environment for many of our clients continuing to grow and expand, even across international borders, and we are confident that we have the tools and expertise to succeed in providing our clients with the best solutions to meet their business needs."

Cisco and ATS first established a partnership ten years ago, focused on the shared interest in pursuing IP telephony and rich media communication platforms. Since that time, technology developments have led to new capabilities in unified communications, routing and switching, security, data center consolidation and wireless - all areas in which Cisco and ATS teams work closely together to deliver superior solutions and services for mutual clients in the government market. ATS provides the customer support throughout the entire lifecycle of the customer interaction - at presale, throughout the implementation and at any time during the post sale period.
