12/18/2018 Ashburn, VA: DSI is proud to announce the renewal of their Cisco Gold Partner certification, the highest certification level within the Cisco Channel Partner program and a certification DSI has held since 2013 (DSI has been a Cisco partner since 2001). DSI qualified for the renewal without an audit, meeting all requirements for maintaining the Gold Partner status including personnel, support, specializations, and Hybrid IT.
"DSI is honored to have our Cisco Gold Partner certification renewed," said Alan Bechara, Sr. Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Being a Cisco Gold Partner means that we have been recognized for our ability to sell, install, and support Cisco solutions at the highest level. We are very proud of all our employees and our organization for this achievement, and we aim to continue exceeding expectations."
Cisco Gold Partners must have 12 uniquely certified full-time employees; DSI well exceeds that number, and many of them are Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIE).
