Block Solutions validates Cisco expertise through Advanced Unified Communications certification
LONDON, UK, 1st June 2008
Block Solutions achieves Advanced Unified Communications (UC) in addition to existing specialisations.
Block Solutions announced today that they have successfully recertified their specialisation as a Cisco Advanced Unified Communications (UC) partner. Block thereby maintains its position as one of only a handful of UK Premier Partners to combine the three main Cisco specialisations, in addition to being recognised with the Cisco Premier Partner of the Year award at the beginning of 2008.
"Cisco’s certification programme enables customers to select their Cisco delivery partner with confidence, ensuring complex solutions are designed and delivered by experts”, commented Marc Chang, Block’s Technical Director. “It also enables Block to access preferential pricing on associated equipment, and these savings can then be passed on to our customer base. This is excellent news for customers who prefer the responsiveness and flexibility of dealing with a smaller, highly focused, expert supplier, but who require the cost savings they can typically only access through larger Gold partners.”
Block has a solid track record of delivering UC solutions to its customer base. They have recently helped a city-based financial institution to design and roll out a QoS (Quality of Service) infrastructure that will enable the deployment of key voice, video and data applications over their existing network, and are also delivering a UC infrastructure pilot for Guys’ and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), an organisation employing more than nine thousand personnel.
