Wokingham (United Kingdom), Hilversum (The
Netherlands) – 19 July 2011 -
Conceptsales and Global Knowledge announced today a partnership to
deliver the Managed Services Partner Enablement Program (MSPEP), an
unique enablement program for Cisco Channel Partners to overcome
common challenges when building a managed service practice. This
partnership underpins Global Knowledge's and Conceptsales' ongoing
commitment to provide the Channel Partners with the right skills
and knowledge to be successful in selling and exploiting Managed
Services.
Johanan Bos, Director and co-owner at
Conceptsales, believes the MSPEP-partnership will offer a unique
and unparalleled solution to Channel Partners: “Our managed
services framework, based on best practises of more than 100 ICT
companies in Europe deserves to be used worldwide by partners that
want to accelerate their manager services business without doing
huge investments. While we develop and support the framework,
Global Knowledge is the perfect partner to deliver the training in
local language since they have the infrastructure, people and
partnership with Cisco worldwide.”
“We are delighted to be working with
Conceptsales in delivering the MSPEP program to Cisco partners
across EMEA”, said Jeff Wheeldon, Global Knowledge’s Cisco Business
Development Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “With
Conceptsales’ expertise in Cisco Managed Services aligned with
Global Knowledge’s global footprint and strong relationship with
Cisco and its partners, we believe we are bringing true value to
the market. Our training will take a traditional Cisco
partner and enable them to deliver a complete Managed Service to
their customers.”
The Managed Services Partner Enablement Program provides
industry leading sales and operations tools combined with a 360
degrees training program bespoke for each partner. More information
