Meriplex Communications Achieves Cisco Master Unified Communications Specialization in the United States

HOUSTON, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Meriplex Communications announced today it has achieved the Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco®. This specialization recognizes Meriplex Communications as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support highly sophisticated applications-based Cisco Unified Communications solutions.    

"As Meriplex continues towards a goal of technical excellence, acquiring the Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco is yet another milestone in this process. This rare certification assures our clients that Meriplex possesses the skills to effectively initiate large domestic and global IP Telephony deployments," said David Henley, Vice President of Meriplex. "We are always striving for new ways to enhance our service offerings, while, at the same time, raising the bar on industry standards."

"To help turn the promise of unified communications into a strategic advantage, customers are demanding an enhanced set of skills and capabilities from channel partners," said Richard McLeod, director of unified communications for worldwide channels at Cisco. "Meriplex Communications' investment in the Master Unified Communications Specialization ranks them among the industry's elite."

To achieve the Master Unified Communications Specialization, resale channel partners must first attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. Partners must then meet stringent requirements that demonstrate their master-level sales, technical, and services capabilities. Furthermore, master specialized partners must possess a number of Cisco and industry-standard technical certification requirements; provide customer references that document Cisco-prescribed design and deployment capabilities; and show evidence that they have the infrastructure to support a full menu of Lifecycle Services offerings and capabilities.

The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills, and then validates their skills through a third-party audit. 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 - SMB, Express, Advanced and Master - reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies. Cisco master specializations provide Meriplex Communications access to comprehensive sales, technical, and lifecycle services training and support available from Cisco.
