United Data Technologies (UDT) Recognized as Cisco TelePresence Video Express Authorized Technology Provider

DORAL, FL--(Marketwire - Aug 3, 2011) - United Data Technologies announced today that it has achieved TelePresence Video Express Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes United Data Technologies (UDT) as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco TelePresence Video products and solutions.

The Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Program is focused on providing a new way of working, in which everyone, everywhere can be more productive through face-to-face collaboration with TelePresence Video solutions. The Express-level program's goal is to enable partners to market Cisco TelePresence Video endpoints, offer targeted infrastructure solutions, and differentiate themselves based on their breadth of unique audiovisual integration skills.

Daniel Rodriguez, UDT's Vice President of Technology Services, said the designation underscores UDT's commitment to excellence and sets the company apart from its competitors.

"UDT is proud to partner with a company that shares our vision for quality service and customer satisfaction. The Telepresence Video Express Competency will allow us to offer more innovative solutions to our clients and add value to their investments."

"The Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Program is designed to enable partners to take advantage of the tremendous market opportunities ahead--not only in the telepresence space but also in the overall collaboration market," said Richard McLeod, senior director of collaboration for worldwide channels at Cisco. "As a Cisco TelePresence Video Express ATP Partner, United Data Technologies (UDT) has made an investment in the sales, technical and life cycle services capabilities to deliver the industry's most comprehensive and interoperable Cisco TelePresence Video portfolio."

The Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) Program is part of the Cisco go-to-market strategy for emerging technologies. The program helps Cisco to define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to successfully sell, deploy and support an emerging technology. As the market changes, an ATP designation may be discontinued or may evolve into a Cisco specialization.
