Wokingham, UK – 9 March 2011 - Global Knowledge
announced today its readiness to support Cisco Channel Partners
with the new advanced-level Architecture Specialisations, which
were recently announced during the worldwide Cisco Partner Summit
2011 in New Orleans, United States.
The new advanced level specialisations, Borderless Networks,
Collaboration and Data Center, recognize the Cisco Partner’s depth
of expertise in a specific architecture, enabling them to
differentiate in a highly competitive market. These new Cisco
Architecture Specialisations are building blocks and a key
requirement of the Cisco Partner program.
“Moving from a focus on advanced technologies to a focus on
architectural plays, Cisco enables Partners to move from having a
technology conversation to having a business conversation with
their customers” commented Jeff Wheeldon, Global Knowledge’s Cisco
Business Development Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa
(EMEA). “The new specialisations provide the underlying skills to
begin to migrate to this new way of business.”
To help Cisco Channel Partners drive return-on-investment
through their specialised capabilities, Global Knowledge offers its
exclusive Fit4Business® program, which simplifies the complexities
associated with achieving, maintaining, and enhancing Partner
status.
“Global Knowledge recognizes the launch of the new architecture
specializations as the building blocks to achieve Cisco’s one
architecture vision” said Richard Pryor-Jones, EMEA President for
Global Knowledge. “We are deeply committed to enabling Cisco
Channel Partners to achieve certifications, specialisations and
competency requirements. With our expertise and global footprint,
we can rapidly deliver high-quality and highly relevant training
solutions to enable Channel Partners to attain proficiency in
Cisco’s new specialisations.”
