Cisco Names NextiraOne as Germany’s Borderless Networks Partner of the Year
Latest accolade recognises the company’s innovative sales and service approach
Teltow, 30 April 2012 – Cisco has named NextiraOne Germany, as its Borderless Networks Partner of the Year during this year’s world-wide Cisco Partner Summit in San Diego. With the award Cisco has recognised the successful sales and service strategy of its long-term partner. “NextiraOne has impressed us with its ability to integrate and customise IT processes with the business needs of the customer,” said Carsten Heidbrink, Partnership Director for Cisco in Germany. “The strong basis for the success of the NextiraOne team lies in the high level of certification in both sales and system consultancy. This enables the creation of innovative customer solutions based on our architectures, giving our joint customers a significant competitive advantage.”
Borderless Networks architecture is a comprehensive networking approach that allows authorised access to corporate resources anywhere, with any device and at any time. It therefore includes all the hardware and software components necessary for a secure, reliable, seamless IT infrastructure – from routing and switching via Wireless LAN and WAN to security management. Borderless Networks therefore represent the classic Cisco networking portfolio complemented by Collaboration and Data Centre/Virtualisation architectures.
Solution- and customer-oriented sales strategy
“Only those companies that can combine innovative products with efficient services are able to create a comprehensive solution which brings true added value to the customer,” added Bernd Ruppert, CEO NextiraOne Germany. “Companies that just choose suitable products for their customers cannot be successful in the long term in building highly efficient business networks.” This is where NextiraOne’s solution- and customer-oriented sales strategy comes into its own: carefully targeted integration of IT processes with the business needs of the customer has enabled the NextiraOne teams not only to build individual customer solutions. It has also enabled them to demonstrate the transparency of the necessary investment and to significantly increase business volumes.
These outstanding results have now been rewarded by the announcement of this Cisco Borderless Networks Award. Bernd Ruppert said: “The award emphasises our close relationship with Cisco and shows that we are on the right course with our sales successes.”
