CLOUD MANAGED NETWORKS CANADA: FIRST CANADIAN FIRM TO OBTAIN 3 CISCO POWERED SERVICES CERTIFICATIONS AT ONCE
[PRESSWIRE] London, UK - 14 August, 2023 - On August 4, 2023, Cloud Managed Networks Canada became one of very few Cisco Global Provider Partners to become certified on 3 Cisco Powered Services certifications at one time.
To achieve the Premier Provider status, partners must pass the Cisco Powered Services audit. The audit has stringent criteria in terms of demonstrating expertise in deploying solutions, ensuring faultless integration of technologies and providing outstanding customer experiences.
The audit can take months to prepare and complete. The Cisco Partner and Cloud Managed Networks teams began working on the certifications in April 2023 and, in less than 4 months, were able to achieve certification in 3 Cisco Powered Services - Meraki Access, Meraki Security and Meraki SDWAN. This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to Cloud Managed Networks' capabilities and its close working relationship with Cisco.
Dave Frankland, one of CMN's two founders and managing partners, commented: "Fast? Yes, it was!! The timeframe in which this was completed is a tribute to the team's work ethic and focus, both towards the business and our customers. But... we have been providing white glove managed services for years, and are used to that kind of pace when working on behalf of our clients. And never has that been truer than today. As you can imagine, we are all very pleased to have achieved Premier Select status at Cisco. This is a natural progression in our 10+ year partnership and we look forward to the next 10."

Release
Impossible.
Personal data hijacked. Corporate processes held hostage. Hospital procedures halted. These are the things of network administrator nightmares because it’s no longer a matter of if, but when. Today’s cyber attackers are smart, organized and well-funded. Last year alone, $6,000,000,000,000 was lost because of online attacks. The average cost to Canadian companies? $243 per person, per breach – not to mention the loss of productivity and reputation. Tough new legislation means companies can’t afford the other penalties that come with such breaches, either.
It’s no secret that most attacks come through emails, so most IT specialists focus their energies on communication and think they’ve got it covered. But what about the other devices connecting to your network? The new copier, fridge, scrolling sign, wireless headset, and so many other seemingly harmless devices, can all open your network up for hackers to wreak havoc.
In this day and age, there’s no such thing as impenetrable IT fortress. But we can come close. Cloud Managed Networks works with the world’s best threat assessment and protection company to bring you solutions that will help you sleep at night.
