MORRISTOWN, N.J., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliant Technologies announced today that it has achieved TelePresence Video Express Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes Alliant as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco TelePresence Video products and solutions at the Express level.

The Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Program is focused on providing a new way of working, in which everyone, everywhere can be more productive through face-to-face collaboration with TelePresence Video solutions. The Express-level program's goal is to enable partners to market Cisco TelePresence Video endpoints, offer targeted infrastructure solutions, and differentiate themselves based on their breadth of unique audiovisual integration skills.

When asked about achieving this certification, Bruce Flitcroft, Alliant's founder and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Cisco TelePresence is changing the way the world does business. Alliant is integrating this technology to transform our service delivery experience for our customers."

"The Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Program is designed to enable partners to take advantage of the tremendous market opportunities ahead – not only in the TelePresence space but also in the overall collaboration market," said Richard McLeod, Senior Director of Collaboration for Worldwide Channels at Cisco. "As a Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Partner, Alliant Technologies has made an investment in the sales, technical and life cycle services capabilities to deliver the industry's most comprehensive and interoperable Cisco TelePresence Video portfolio."

The Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) Program is part of the Cisco go-to-market strategy for emerging technologies. The program helps Cisco to define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to successfully sell, deploy and support an emerging technology. As the market changes, an ATP designation may be discontinued or may evolve into a Cisco specialization.
