Atturra has announced that its managed services business has achieved Cisco Gold Provider status reinforcing the company’s ability to provide Australian enterprises and government agencies with technology solutions that enhance connectivity, efficiency and optimise overall cybersecurity and network performance.
Atturra is now just one of a few sovereign Australian IT services companies to have achieved Cisco Gold Provider status. The Cisco Gold Provider certification is awarded to companies that have demonstrated a high level of competency to successfully build, provision, manage and support managed services built on Cisco technologies.
The company achieved Gold Service Provider status following stringent third-party auditing of its services and expertise for the Meraki SD-WAN Powered Service, Cisco SASE network architecture and full-stack observability technologies.
“We are delighted that our investment in building out our capability in the provision of Cisco Powered managed services across functions, including our workspace and architecture practices, has been recognised and awarded,” said Chris McLaughlin, Executive General Manager for Atturra’s Managed Services business.
“This certification is testament to our ability to compete with global services companies with an expert team on the ground here in Australia with world-class skills able to deliver innovation and, ultimately, a great customer experience.
“At the same time, the relationship reinforces both companies’ business momentum which has seen Cisco’s global strategy shift in recent years to annuity-based services for which Atturra is 100% in lockstep to support and achieve mutual business success,” added McLaughlin.
Atturra’s flexible and on-demand services are all managed and monitored by a team of Australian-based, certified engineers supporting customers with cloud and infrastructure, modern workplace, enterprise network services, cybersecurity, application managed services as well as hardware and software procurement. The company’s Cisco Powered managed services are based around its ITSM and ITIL practice management.
Cisco’s Managing Director of the Partner Organisation for Australia and New Zealand, Rodney Hamill, said: “We’re thrilled Atturra has attained Cisco Gold Provider status, a testament to their exceptional dedication as a Cisco partner. We value their innovation, investment and partnership.”
McLaughlin added, “Businesses need partners they can trust. Our new partnership status provides reassurance that we have the leading expertise required to meet our clients’ rigorous IT services requirements with products from an industry pioneer and innovator.”
