Amsterdam, April 4 2009 – Schuberg Philis announced today that it is one of the first Dutch outsourcing service provider to become a Cisco Certified Management Services Channel Partner (MSCP) for data centers. As such, Schuberg Philis has established resources and procedures to deploy, manage and support complex application infrastructures in accordance with the standards defined by Cisco for these services.
“Adopting managed services allows companies to align IT and business goals, enabling them to focus scarce internal resources on their core competencies while servicing day-to-day IT infrastructure and operational needs through technology delivered as a service,” said Michiel Panders, Commercial Director Service Providers for Cisco. “Schuberg Philis, as an outsourcing provider, takes full responsibility for their customers’ mission critical application infrastructures, such as internet banks or trading environments. By becoming a member of the Cisco MSCP Program, Schuberg Philis has made an investment in obtaining training, skills and knowledge necessary to ensure innovative technologies as part of their outsourcing services.”
The Cisco MSCP Program is Cisco’s premier partnering vehicle for solution providers who offer Cisco technologies as a part of their service offerings. This program sets the standard for recognizing a solution provider’s investment in the tools and processes necessary to provide high-quality network-based managed services.
“Schuberg Philis guarantees its customers 100% availability of their mission critical applications. Therefore it is crucial for us and our customers to maintain our head position in innovation – not only technically, but also on a service management level. Hence, it is vital for us to be aligned with leading vendors. Being a certified partner for Cisco leads, besides the recognition by our customers, directly to wide access to technical resources, support and training” said Pim Berger, Managing Director of Schuberg Philis. “This MSCP accreditation gives our customers the assurance that our outsourcing services have undergone a rigorous third-party assessment by Cisco and have met their requirements based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library® (ITIL) framework of best practices and market and industry requirements.”
