Express Unified Communications Specialisation
Overview: The Cisco Express Unified
Communications Specialisation represents the evolution of the Cisco
IP Communications Specialisation. To better serve partners and
customers, this entire product family--in addition to the
specialisation--has transitioned to a "unified communications"
approach. This approach not only describes product functions more
accurately, it also represents our transition from a
solutions-oriented model to a more robust, systems-level model.
Unified Communications now refers to the entire
product family and serves as part of each product name as
well.
The Cisco Express Unified Communications
Specialisation recognizes partners for their knowledge and
expertise in selling, designing, installing, and supporting a
Unified Communications solution for small and medium-sized
businesses, particularly enterprise autonomous branch offices.
These solutions focus on single-site and limited-site entry-level
converged network opportunities that have a low degree of
complexity. Achieving a Cisco Express Unified Communications
Specialisation can boost your company's credibility with customers
by enhancing your ability to deliver advanced voice applications
using IP as the transport technology that spans the distance from
the customer premises to the network core.
To achieve a Cisco Express Unified
Communications Specialisation, partners must fulfill each defined
job role:
Account Manager,
Field Engineer. Partners must allocate a
dedicated individual to each role in a
base specialisation. Individuals used for job
roles in base specialisations can also be used for optional
specialisations.
