BIS Limited Achieves Cisco Powered Designations
LONDON/PRNewswire/ -- BIS Ltd announced today that it has achieved Cisco Powered designations
for MPLS VPN, Managed Internet Service and Metro Ethernet services by
establishing the resources and procedures to deploy, manage and support these
Cisco Powered services.
"BIS has been quietly providing managed solutions to our customers for
years and we were delighted to formalise this by working with Cisco to
achieve a Cisco Powered designation and become a member of Cisco's Managed
Services Channel Program," said BIS Sales Director, Samantha Keating. "Our
relationship with Cisco enables us to continue to grow our Managed Service
business, delivering technology with consistent high quality customer
service," she continued.
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.
In addition, BIS' participation in the Cisco Managed Services Channel
Program indicates that its Cisco Powered Managed Connectivity services have
undergone a rigorous third-party assessment and have met requirements based
on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library(R) (ITIL) framework of
best practices and market and industry requirements.
"We are very pleased that Cisco has recognised our continued commitment
to delivering first class solutions for our customers," said David Pyemont,
Chairman of BIS Ltd. "The Cisco Powered designation is the highest achievable
and to have received this in not one, but three different categories, is
fantastic," he continued.
