TBL Networks has successfully landed a trifecta of Cisco Partner Certifications.  Along with the renewal of our Cisco Gold Certification, we have also met all criteria to become Master Collaboration Specialized, and a Cisco Cloud and Managed Services Master Partner.

So what does this mean for you?  It means that we have an extensive suite of services that can meet all your technology needs.  It confirms that you can trust us to deliver, manage and support your personalized IT solution, a
nd it verifies that our Limelight Private Cloud as a Service is a system you can depend on.

TBL’s Limelight PCaaS is an original new way for organizations to consume technology, spotlighting the key benefits of both on-premise and public cloud solutions. We are bringing this unique service to market initially for its three core technologies: Limelight Collaboration for voice, video and collaboration solutions, Limelight Desktop for VDI solutions and Limelight Infrastructure for server consolidation solutions.

Cisco Gold Certified Partner

Cisco Gold Certification PartnerFor the third time since 2011, TBL has renewed our Gold Certification, the highest level of Partner Certification that Cisco offers.  In order to be honored with this certification, you must demonstrate savvy in all technology areas of Cisco solutions.

When evaluating companies for the Gold Certification, Cisco takes a multitude of factors into consideration.  Partners must meet support requirements – such as offering 24/7 customer service – as well as complete surveys that verify customer satisfaction is being achieved.

There are currently only 159 Cisco Gold Partners in the United States and we are proud to have been one of them, year after year.


Master Collaboration Specialized

Cisco Master Collaboration PartnerSpecialization in Cisco collaboration solutions means that we have demonstrated mastery of Voice, Video and Contact Center solutions.  Right now, only 79 partners in the United States can say that they are Master Collaboration Specialized.

To gain this title, TBL showed that we are skillful in a variety of communications technologies, including call processing, messaging, and conferencing.  In addition, Cisco also requires that companies complete a live audit and submit 5 complex customer references.


Master Cloud and Managed Service Provider

Cisco Master Services PartnerCisco understands “you want the same experience from the cloud as your on-premises solutions.”  Those who have achieved the Master Cloud
and Managed Service Provider designation are companies that Cisco is assured can provide reliability and security.

TBL’s own Limelight offerings are now branded as Cisco Powered services.  As a result, when you use this service, you’re using a Cisco validated solution that has met strict qualifications. Cisco Powered services go through third party audits to ensure you’re delivered what
you’re promised.

Out of the 15,502 registered Cisco Partners, there are only 41 who hold all 3 of these designations.  We are proud to be one of them, and to give our clients further confidence in TBL Networks.
