NES Goes for Gold
NEServices Attains Gold Certified Partner Status by Microsoft and Premier Partner with CISCO Systems Networking services provider further distinguishes itself by earning competencies in four distinct areas.
Londonderry, NH (PRWEB) August 28, 2006
NE Services. net, (NES) a leading provider of complete IT management services today announced it has attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program with competencies in advanced infrastructure, networking infrastructure solutions, and information worker solutions and was also recognized as a Premier Certified Partner by Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO). These certifications acknowledge NEServices’ expertise in the technology marketplace by completing a comprehensive review of the organization’s infrastructure, hardware system, IT management practices, networking, customer satisfaction levels and software applications.
As a Gold Certified partner, NEServices joins the ranks of a select group of companies who have demonstrated expertise with both Microsoft and Cisco Systems technologies further validating its ability to deliver high quality services.
NES brings external deployment services to the business desktop, PDA and mobile phone for small to medium size businesses (SMBs). From PC to local area network (LAN), voice over internet provider (VOIP), wide area networking (WAN) and wireless solutions, NES manages all aspects of a businesses network and provides new freedom for business owners to refocus on their core offerings.
“These certifications are a substantial achievement for NEServices,” says Mark Braun, president of NEServices. “Both the Gold Certified status from Microsoft and the Cisco Premier Certified Partner qualifications clearly establish NEServices as a leader in networking technologies and providing world-class customer service for our clients. The benefits provided through our Gold Certified status will allow us to continually enhance our customer offerings and assure them that we are highly qualified to design, implement and maintain one of their most precious assets, their networking and data.”
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the marketplace. NES has also achieved an additional partner competency in Information Worker Solutions specializing in Messaging and Collaboration and continues to train and stay on the cutting edged with the knowledge to support business throughout New England.
“Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities,” says Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. “They need to trust in someone that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Today, Microsoft recognizes NEServices as a new Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology.”
As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified status, NEServices had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. “The fact that NE Services has met the rigorous requirements for not just one but three Microsoft competencies speaks volumes about our commitment to ongoing education. Each step we take to gain another certification ensures our clients that we stand ready to deliver the best possible solutions and latest technologies available,” continues Braun.
The Advanced Infrastructure and Networking Solutions Competencies are designed for partners with proven expertise in designing and/or implementing complex infrastructure solutions such as Active Directory®-based and Microsoft Integration Server design and deployment solutions, or Microsoft Exchange Server migration or deployment solutions. Because customers are increasingly asking to do more with less, partners with the Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency can identify their unique skill in helping customers access management solutions, improving operational efficiency and reducing security risks
Along with its Microsoft certification, NEServices has also achieved the Cisco Premier Certified Partner designation for Internet Protocol (IP) Communications Express Specialization further recognizing its excellence in sales and marketing information, tools, and support. Attainment of this certification level requires completion of sales and technical training in addition to other base requirements by Cisco Systems.
“All Premier Certified Cisco Partners must meet strict standards for product knowledge, technical ability and customer support,” continues Braun. “This level of certification requires a consistent level of product knowledge and technical expertise, along with Cisco's industry-leading network solutions. Specifically, NEServices was recognized for its standards of installation, Cisco product sales, and configuration.”
