Dimension Data recognised by Cisco as TelePresence Global Authorized Technology Provider

This achievement places Dimension Data among a select handful of partners that have presence in all five Cisco theatres with the skills to sell, design, install, and support Cisco Telepresence globally.

Cisco TelePresence is a revolutionary solution that creates live, "face to face" experiences over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It combines the reach, intelligence and reliability of the network with the simplicity of a telephone interface to deliver an entirely new way for people to meet and collaborate.

"We are delighted to be one of only three Partners to be awarded Cisco's Global ATP certification," says Steve Joubert, Group Executive, Global Solutions at Dimension Data.
"The Cisco TelePresence high-definition videoconferencing system is an excellent tool that enables enterprises to collaborate and interact as if they were in the same room. Apart from reducing travel costs and employee down time, Cisco TelePresence improves business agility," he says and points out that there's been enormous uptake for the solution - particularly among global organizations wanting to improve employee interactions."

Siddeek Rahim, Managing Director, Dimension Data Gulf Region, says:

"We are excited that Cisco awarded us this prestigious certification. We are sure our customers will be happy with our ability to provide the best technical support, service and expertise in installing Cisco TelePresence."

"Cisco TelePresence changes the entire realm of communications and collaboration," said Richard McLeod, Director of Unified Communications for Worldwide Channels at Cisco. "This is an outstanding accomplishment for Dimension Data and demonstrates their desire to develop expertise in the new world of complex networking technologies and ranks them among an elite group of companies qualified to deploy Cisco TelePresence globally."
