A networking and collaboration solution built on Cisco's platform, designed, installed, and supported by NIC Partners.
NIC Partners + Cisco
A camera that can't reach the network isn't protecting anyone.
NIC Partners' networking and collaboration solution puts Cisco’s infrastructure to work as the layer every other system runs on. It’s the reason a district’s cameras, door access, phones, and alerting systems stay connected when they’re needed. Cisco builds the platform. NIC Partners works with a district to decide how it gets designed and deployed, connects it to the rest of that district's safety and communication systems, and stays on as the team responsible for it once it's live.
What the Cisco platform covers
Networking and switching.
The wired backbone that carries camera, phone, access control, and alerting traffic across every building on a campus.
Unified communications.
Cisco Call Manager and Webex Calling handle voice and phone system infrastructure district-wide.
Security.
Cisco Duo adds multi-factor authentication to the accounts and systems that need it most.
Collaboration.
Webex supports classroom and office collaboration, including hybrid and remote learning.
Managed network services.
Ongoing monitoring and support for the Cisco infrastructure a district already has running.
What NIC Partners adds to the Cisco platform
01
A network built with security in mind.
NIC Partners designs Cisco networks with cameras, door access, phones, and alerting systems on properly segmented networks, so each system can share one infrastructure without sharing one point of failure or exposure.
02
Security designed in from the start.
03
Infrastructure sized for what comes next.
NIC Partners designs Cisco networks to handle the cameras and devices a district adds in year three, not just what's installed on day one.
04
Unified communications tied to the rest of the system.
NIC Partners connects Cisco Call Manager and Webex Calling to the same alerting platforms, like Singlewire's InformaCast, that trigger during an emergency.
05
Support that doesn't end at installation.
NIC Partners' account teams stay on as a district's first line of support after installation, working alongside Cisco's own engineers when something needs deeper expertise.
Safer schools. Stronger communities.
NIC Partners builds access controls, segmentation, and authentication into the initial network design. We include security tools from Cisco when the solution calls for them.
