Clifton Park, N.Y. (PRWEB) November 07, 2014 -- Annese & Associates, Inc., an integrated communications systems provider, announced today they have achieved the Express Security Specialization from Cisco.

“It was important to pursue this specialization as a natural progression in the ongoing development of Annese's capabilities to support current and future customers' security needs,” said Mark Coffey, Director of Infrastructure and Project Management at Annese. “There has been a growing number of data breaches in the news recently, and it shows how important data security is to a companies' reputation. With the achievement of this specialization, Annese shows that we are at the forefront of market needs, and reinforces our commitment to our partnership with Cisco.”
To earn the Express Security Specialization, Annese fulfilled the Cisco training and exam requirements. Annese also met the personnel, training, and post sales support requirements set forth by Cisco.
The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides a framework for channel partners to build the sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills required to deliver Cisco solutions to their customers. Through the program's specializations and certifications, Cisco recognizes a channel partner's expertise in deploying solutions based on Cisco advanced technologies and services.
