Tekserve Achieves Premier Certification From Cisco

Tekserve, a provider of technology solutions for creative professionals, has achieved Premier Certification from Cisco. To earn Premier Certification, Tekserve had to meet standards for networking competency, service, support and customer satisfaction set forth by Cisco.

“As we continue to expand our solutions portfolio and develop our competencies for the Media and Entertainment industry, while broadening our customer base, it is imperative that we align ourselves with innovative best-of-breed partners,” says Matt Cohen, Principal, Tekserve. “Media content requirements are increasing exponentially, with video and audio workflows demanding the highest performing and scalable infrastructures available. Cisco offers the scale and performance while also ensuring brand longevity, guaranteeing that our customers can move forward confidently with ongoing technology investments.”

Through Tekserve’s investment in Cisco’s Advanced Data Center Architecture Specialization, the company aims to increase its profitability by acquiring an advanced level of knowledge and skill to meet its customers’ diverse data center needs, including consolidation and virtualization, private cloud computing, application-or-infrastructure-as-a-service and big data.

As a Cisco Premier Certified Partner, Tekserve demonstrates a range of technical expertise. To achieve Cisco Premier Certification, Tekserve was required to achieve the Cisco Express Foundation Specialization. This specialization includes tests on technical competency in the integration of basic routing and switching, wireless LANs, and security technologies. In addition, Tekserve was required to integrate a base level of Cisco Lifecycle Services into their offerings and demonstrate measurably high levels of customer satisfaction based on independently audited customer satisfaction surveys.
