Technology Solutions Provider Asserts TelePresence Drives Benefits Beyond What First Meets the Eye
Logicalis, leading technology solutions provider, earns Cisco TelePresence Advanced Technology Provider Designation and aims to help clients realize the full benefits of TelePresence.

COLUMBUS, OH, November 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Logicalis, a leading provider of high-performance technology solutions, sees clients moving in the direction of TelePresence more aggressively, particularly in the case of those with multinational and distributed offices. Now the company is officially a Cisco TelePresence Advanced Technology Provider (ATP) and has authorization to sell the entire Cisco TelePresence solution portfolio.

"Today's enterprises continue to look for ways to lower operating expenses while still supporting collaboration, productivity and simplifying IT management," Bob Hankins, VP Cisco Solutions, Logicalis said. "TelePresence offers unique benefits beyond those that are initially apparent," continued Hankins. "Clearly companies with TelePresence save on travel costs by approximately $1-2k per executive per month, according to a study conducted by Sage Research. What many do not initially anticipate are the benefits of faster decision-making, the enhanced ability to leverage experts or executives in front of customers on short notice, and the exponential productivity gains realized simply through less hours stuck on an airplane. How many times do road warriors think, 'If only I could be in two places at once?' Now it is possible to be in a meeting in London, New York and Los Angeles all in the same day."

The rigorous Cisco TelePresence certification process required extensive technical and sales certifications as well as investments in TelePresence technologies. The Cisco requirements ensure Logicalis' methodologies deliver solid and proven solutions.

"This certification helps ensure that Logicalis sales and support organizations are better prepared to properly sell, design, install and support clients with the Cisco portfolio," Bob Hankins said. "This additional recognition adds to Logicalis' already strong capabilities in unified communications, collaboration, data center optimization and outsourcing and managed services."

With this acceptance and Cisco partner status, Logicalis will deploy TelePresence in its Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, office, in conjunction with rollouts in Logicalis offices in the United Kingdom and Latin America. The initial TelePresence implementations across the three locations are expected to enhance the company's internal collaboration between countries while decreasing travel expenses and enhancing the company's ability to better service and support its multinational customers.
