SMAG Media Achieves Select Certification from Cisco USA

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – August 19, 2008 – SMAG Media, LLC announced today it has achieved Select Certification from Cisco®. The Select Certification recognizes Cisco resale channel partners, whose primary focus is on the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market, those companies with fewer than 250 employees.

“SMAG Media is excited by our strengthened strategic partnership with Cisco,” said Kathleen Kosnar, vice president of SMAG Media. “Cisco’s Select Certification will help SMAG Media to better manage its services internationally as well as locally.”

“The Cisco Select Certification was created in response to customer demand for channel partners to be capable of designing and implementing SMB-specific Cisco solutions," said Surinder Brar, senior director of worldwide channels at Cisco. “With the Select Certification, SMAG Media has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand.”

To earn Select Certification, SMAG Media fulfilled the training and exam requirements for the SMB Specialization. SMAG Media also met the personnel, training, and post-sales support requirements set forth by Cisco.

The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales as well as technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills. Cisco resale partner certifications—Select, Premier, Silver and Gold—represent an increasing breadth of skills across key technologies and a partner’s ability to deliver integrated networking solutions. Cisco resale partner specializations—Entry, Express, Advanced and Master—reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies.
