Plans-les-Ouates, Geneva– 1st October, 2008 – Safe Host announced today it has achieved Select Certification from Cisco®. The Select Certification recognizes Cisco resale channel partners whose primary focus is on the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market with fewer than 250 employees.
Gerard Sikias, Safe Host’s CEO, looks forward to a successful partnership with Cisco® saying, “this is a significant achievement for Safe Host and we look forward to providing our SMB customers with a complete range of reseller services from Cisco®. The Cisco Select certification acknowledges the hard work and dedication that our company has given to maintaining its leadership position in the Suisse Romande region.”
“The Cisco Select Certification was created in response to customer demand for channel partners to be capable of designing and implementing SMB-specific Cisco solutions," said Surinder Brar, senior director of worldwide channels at Cisco. “With the Select Certification, Safe Host has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand.”
To earn Select Certification, Safe Host fulfilled the training and exam requirements for the SMB Specialization. Safe Host also met the personnel, training, and post-sales support requirements set forth by Cisco.
The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills. Cisco resale partner certifications—Select, Premier, Silver and Gold—represent an increasing breadth of skills across key technologies and a partner’s ability to deliver integrated networking solutions. Cisco resale partner specializations—Entry, Express, Advanced and Master—reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies.
