Global Knowledge – Providing you with the
right elements to grow your business
These three strategic alliances wholly compliment Global
Knowledge's recognized status as the leading provider of Cisco
training to Cisco, Cisco Partners, and end-customers across Cisco's
European, Middle East & Africa, and Emerging Theatres.
 |
The alliance with Firefly offers positive,
bottom-line results for our Data Center customers that can be
directly attributed to combining Firefly's mentoring and
consultative relationships with our worldwide IT training delivery
mechanisms. Global Knowledge's expertise in virtualization and as a
VMware Authorized Training Center (VATC) compliments the
relationship, offering further benefit to our customers. |
 |
With Avodaq's resources and our delivery
mechanism, we can offer enterprise customers a six-to-eight month
lead on products that will enable the adoption and integration of
the most recent Unified Communications and Collaboration
technologies. |
 |
Skills Connection are experts in Business
Transformation, delivering world class Cisco technology solutions
sales training, helping Cisco and their partners to position Cisco
technology solutions as a strategic business enabler, transforming
business process. This sophisticated approach to selling business
solutions rather than products is a crucial differentiator and
creates real competitive advantage for our customers. |
The alliance partnerships ensure that in both critical areas of
Unified Communications/Collaboration and Data Center - we can cover
content development and course delivery across the entire
technology lifecycle from the emerging technology, early adopter
phase right through to the mainstream 'mass market' implementation
- blending the niche expertise of Avodaq, Firefly and Skills
Connection with our global localized delivery capability.
The benefit these relationships bring to Cisco is a much
quicker technology go-to-market and a truly scalable delivery model
with Partner sales teams able to sell Cisco technology solutions
aligned to end customer business requirements, where education and
understanding creates market desire.
