NIC PARTNERS has been officially renewed as a Cisco ATP – Video Surveillance Partner in USA.

As a Cisco Video Surveillance ATP Partner, NIC Partners brings a unique set of skills to potential customers, combining a proven physical-security track record with Cisco expertise.

NIC PARTNERS has again met the resource requirements for the ATP – Video Surveillance program and has demonstrated its qualifications to sell, install, and support customers with ATP – Video Surveillance products and solutions in USA. To qualify for the Video Surveillance ATP Program, NIC Partners had to meet a number of requirements, from having staff who fulfill specific job responsibilities to achieving the Cisco Express Foundation Specialization. Those requirements are designed to help a partner maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.

Cisco values the ongoing commitment and expertise that NIC PARTNERS has demonstrated and looks forward to continuing this valuable relationship. The Cisco ATP Program is a key part of Cisco’s emerging technology go-to-market strategy. The program helps define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to successfully sell, deploy and support a subject technology. As markets mature and technologies progress along the adoption curve, some ATP programs may migrate to Cisco specializations.

This is an outstanding accomplishment and commitment NIC Partners has put forth, as there are currently less than seventy-five Cisco Partners within the USA that carry the Cisco Video Surveillance ATP.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA  July 13, 2010 — NIC Partners, Inc has completed a very focused effort to increase the level of Cisco sales and support capabilities within the organization by attaining this Advanced Technology. Once again, we’ve met the rigorous Cisco certified personnel levels required to ensure we’re prepared to properly sell, design, install, and support the ATP specific technology and products.

The web site categorizes hundreds of thousands of solutions into simplified offerings and allows customers to dynamically design their own technologies online with a web-driven “Solution Builder.”  Each customized solution presents visitors with detailed descriptions, online embedded videos, case studies and white papers specific to their requests.  The site also incorporates social media/networking interaction including a full-featured Forum and Blog.  Customers can link directly to NIC Partners’ sites on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube.

NIC Partners’ Managing Partner, Frank Spaeth says: “Our success is directly tied to having conversations with our customers.  We listen, suggest ideas and develop solutions together that impact our customers.  Our approach to the new web site was to create this same level of engagement with both our current and prospective customers.  They can easily find what they’re looking for and discuss real issues on our Forum.”

NIC Partners differentiates itself from other Network Integrators by matching technologies that directly impact its customer’s organization. The new website “bucks the current trend”, by being simple to navigate, socially-driven and interactive. It gives customers detailed information, including rich video content, and includes Java-scripted web technology so customers can take an active part in designing network technologies.

“Our customers cannot wade through the enormous amount of detailed information that is common on our competitor’s websites.  Customers are able to communicate with us directly on-line, and we think this makes all the difference,” says Frank Spaeth. “We are a successful, growing company with a company culture that focuses on consistent and positive experiences. This year we’ve dramatically enlarged our offerings and are continually innovating and improving the ways we communicate with our customers. The new website is the natural next step.”
