Norwell, MA – January 15, 2010 – Business Computers & Service, Inc. announced today it has achieved Select Certification from Cisco^®. The Select Certification recognizes Cisco resale channel partners whose primary focus is on the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market with fewer than 250 employees. 

 “We’ve worked hard to accomplish this new relationship with Cisco,” says Tom Johnson, president of Business Computers & Service, Inc. “We are pleased to have completed the  level of training and preparation required to support the Cisco small business product line.”

 “The Cisco Select Certification was created in response to customer demand for channel partners to be capable of designing and implementing SMB-specific Cisco solutions,” said Surinder Brar, senior director of worldwide channels at Cisco. “With the Select Certification, Business Computers & Service, Inc. has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand.”

 To earn Select Certification, Business Computers & Service, Inc. fulfilled the training and exam requirements for the SMB Specialization.  Business Computers & Service, Inc. also met the personnel, training, and post-sales support requirements set forth by Cisco. 

 The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills.  Cisco resale partner certifications—Select, Premier, Silver and Gold—represent an increasing breadth of skills across key technologies and a partner’s ability to deliver integrated networking solutions.  Cisco resale partner specializations—Entry, Express, Advanced and Master—reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies.
