Cisco Recognizes
Spanlink’s Expertise in Developing and Delivering Managed Services and Ranks it
at the Highest Level
MINNEAPOLIS—June 12, 2012—Spanlink Communications, a
Cisco partner focused on designing, implementing and supporting contact center
and customer collaboration solutions, announced today at Cisco Live that it has
achieved the Cisco Master Managed Services Certification, and the Cisco Powered
Managed Unified Communications designation. Both accomplishments recognize
Spanlink’s investment in the ITIL® processes, practices and tools necessary to
provide high-quality managed services.
“Technology needs and system requirements can shift
quickly, and though the technology itself is nimble enough to handle the
changes, allocating the resources, ensuring the resources are skilled in the
appropriate areas and setting aside the proper time to make the changes are
often our customers’ biggest challenges. That’s where Spanlink Managed Services
comes in,” said Lisa Goette, Spanlink director of customer support services.
“This certification highlights our breadth of expertise, and customers and
prospects can feel confident that when modifications are needed, they have the
skilled resources necessary to assist them.”
As a Cisco Master Managed Services Certified Partner,
Spanlink has demonstrated the ability to deliver sophisticated solutions, met
stringent requirements that reflect a depth of capabilities and endured an
independent audit by an objective third-party auditor.
In addition to the requirements above, Spanlink was
also required to offer at least two managed services to support Cisco
solutions. Spanlink surpassed this requirement by offering the following
managed services:
“Spanlink’s investment in the Cisco Master Managed Services
certification ranks it among an elite group of channel partners with the
resources to deploy, manage and support services for multiple technologies,”
said Edison Peres, senior vice president of worldwide channels at Cisco.
