Nexus IS, Inc. Recognized as Cisco TelePresence Video Master Authorized Technology Provider Partner in the U.S.

VALENCIA, Calif., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexus IS, Inc. announced today that it has achieved TelePresence Video Master Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes Nexus IS, Inc. as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco TelePresence Video products and solutions at the Master level.

The Cisco TelePresence Video Master 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 Cisco TelePresence Video solutions. A Cisco TelePresence Video Master ATP Partner has the greatest depth of knowledge and skill in deploying the entire Cisco video endpoint portfolio, which comprises single- and triple-screen Cisco TelePresence units, custom TelePresence suites, and infrastructure solutions. Cisco TelePresence Video Master ATP Partners possess deep networking and advanced Cisco Unified Communications capabilities, regional to global coverage, and a strong and mature services practice.

"Nexus was the first Advanced Technology Partner in the US to deploy the Cisco TelePresence System (CTS) in our own production environment and the first to interoperate our legacy endpoints with CTS," said Dave Elsner, Nexus VP of Sales & Marketing. "We use TelePresence every day in our own business to efficiently and effectively connect, collaborate, and create solutions to business problems and we're proud to add the TelePresence Video Master ATP to our already impressive list of business video credentials."

Nexus also offers world-class Video Network Operations Center (VNOC) services with hosted and managed services for TelePresence.  

"The Cisco TelePresence Video Master 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 Master ATP Partner, Nexus IS, Inc. has made an investment in the sales, technical and life cycle services capabilities needed 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.
