Kingston Communications Re-certified as VPN Security and Wireless LAN Partner by Cisco
Kingston Communications has been re-certified as a VPN Security and Wireless LAN specialisation partner by Cisco Systems, Inc.
The recertification recognises Kingston Communications for having personnel with advanced training, knowledge, field experience, and customer satisfaction to deploy VPN security and wireless LAN solutions.
To achieve the specialisation, Kingston Communications met or exceeded the personnel, experience, customer satisfaction and lab requirements outlined by Cisco. This included developing sophisticated lab and reference network resources and ensuring its employees were trained thoroughly in Cisco technology.
As part of the process, Kingston also demonstrated its ability to offer 24/7 support and undertook customer satisfaction surveys to demonstrate service excellence.
Richard Ashley, marketing director for Integration and Managed Services at Kingston, said its success as a Cisco partner could be attributed in part to the fact that - where possible - the company actually exceeds Ciscos requirements.
"An extremely high number of Cisco certified employees across all categories has enabled us to develop extensive technical expertise across Ciscos product range," he said.
Nick Edmond, service provider account manager at Cisco Systems, added: I would like to congratulate Kingston on achieving re-certification in VPN Security and Wireless LAN specialisations.
"The continued commitment that Kingston has shown to Cisco Systems over the last seven years, and the depth of technical knowledge, makes them one of the leading gold partners in the UK and Ireland."
