Block Solutions announced today that they have won the coveted Cisco Premier Partner of the Year UK&I award for 2007.
Summarising the reasoning behind selecting Block from around 70 organisations across the region, Duncan Mitchell, SVP Cisco UK&I referred to Block’s achievement of the three main Cisco Advanced Specialisations (Wireless LAN, Unified Communications and Security) and their “innovative propositions into the Healthcare sector”.
"Since inception, Block has been unique amongst Premier Partners in the UK,” explained Jonathan Pickering, Managing Director of Block Solutions. “We were the very first Premier Partner in our region to combine the three Advanced Specialisations, and together with our Enterprise vertical and SMB specialisations this has enabled our customers to access competitive pricing on equipment while benefiting from the expert, responsive service that is achievable only with a smaller, more agile integration partner.”
Block continues to acquire, support and retain both enterprise and SMB customers. Recent engagements include designing and delivering one of the largest Cisco Healthcare WLAN solutions in Europe (more than 2,500 access points) at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ N HS Foundation Trust, an innovative UC solution for a city based Finance house, and a managed UC solution for a medium-sized retailer.
As well as its continuing commitment to the UK Healthcare market, Block offers a range of vertical-specific IT solutions and works with a range of customers in the Enterprise, Commercial Mid-Market and SMB sectors.
