Natural Intelligent Systems Achieves Select Certification from Cisco in South Africa

Submitted by: Izak van der Sandt
{pp}Natural Intelligent Systems (NiSystems) announced today it has achieved Select Certification from Cisco®.

The Select Certification, a new certification level in the award-winning Cisco Channel Partner Program, recognizes Cisco channel partners whose primary focus is on the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market.

To earn Select Certification, Nisystems fulfilled the training and exam requirements of the new SMB Specialization, demonstrating that the company has invested in achieving the sales and technical skills needed to deliver integrated network solutions tailored for the SMB market. Nisystems also met the personnel, training, and post-sales support requirements set forth by Cisco.

“The Cisco Select Certification was created in response to customer demand for channel partners to be capable of designing and implementing Cisco SMB-specific solutions," said Edison Peres, vice president and chief go-to-market officer for Worldwide Channels at Cisco. “With the Select Certification, Nisystems has secured the training, skills and knowledge to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand of SMB customers.”

“The lack of skilled staff at partners, and even at their customers, is a major issue today and Cisco has gone a long way in helping its SMB Select Partners train their staff in addressing such matters as wireless, security and unified communication,” says Izak van der Sandt, managing consultant for NiSystems. “SMB customers look for solutions and not products, and Cisco’s SMB Select Partners programme allows partners to become skilled in selling more solutions and in becoming their trusted advisor.”

The Cisco Channel Partner Program provides state-of-the-art technical and sales training to help Select Certified Partners increase their ability to deliver services related to Cisco SMB solutions and maximize their customers’ productivity.

As a Cisco Select Certified Partner, NiSystems earns several benefits. It may use the Cisco Certified mark to validate the company’s SMB expertise; acquire demonstration equipment and training; benefit from specialized business and technical training built from the ground up for SMB, access to Cisco Incentive programs, and be listed in the Cisco Partner Locator.
