The Cisco Premier certification acknowledges the company’s breadth of skill and ability to deliver integrated Cisco networking solutions.

Al continued: “Achieving Premier certification was a key part of our strategy moving forward and will provide a platform for us to start growing the business and deliver more ground breaking technologies such as Software Defined Networking.”
