Dimension Data Achieves Global Certification from Cisco

Dimension Data, the $4 billion IT solutions and services provider, announced that it has achieved Global Certification from Cisco. This elite designation recognises Dimension Data as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco networking solutions around the globe. Dimension Data becomes one of four organisations with this elite status worldwide.

Cisco's Global Certification follows the establishment by Dimension Data of its Chilean operation through the acquisition of a majority stake in a leading systems integrator based in Santiago. This transaction means Dimension Data has further extended its global footprint into the fast-growing Latin America market.


Apart from meeting the Global Certification requirement across all six Cisco Theatres, in 2009 alone, Dimension Data achieved numerous awards from Cisco including:

• 2009 Technology Excellence Partner of the Year
• 2009 APAC Partner of the Year
• 2009 European Markets Partner of the Year
• 2009 Services Partner of the Year - Americas
• 2009 No 1 Partner of the Year - Hong Kong
• 18 Cisco regional Partner of the Year awards

Global Certification recognises partners that have the expertise and resources to plan, design, implement and operate Cisco networking solutions across the globe. To achieve Global Certification, a partner must have a global resale agreement and meet certification benchmarks in numerous countries across three continents.
