CDW\u00a0 today announced its new CDW Cloud Collaboration solution. CDW, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, will host the new offering in its own facilities and will combine Cisco\u2019s collaboration platforms with CDW professional services<\/a> to provide customers the security and personalization of a traditional, on-premise communications solution with the flexibility, scale and economics of a cloud solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most organizations understand the value of collaboration technologies such as voice and video conferencing<\/a>, voicemail or customer collaboration platforms, but many lack the deep technical expertise and staff resources to successfully deploy and manage them. With CDW\u2019s Cloud Collaboration offering, users can focus on critical business responsibilities and customer needs with peace of mind, knowing that CDW is behind them to deliver a strategic collaboration solution from design to implementation to management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way organizations work is changing, with employees no longer confined to working in the same physical location and customers increasingly involved in product and service development. As a result, collaboration technology needs are evolving,\u201d said Christine Holloway, vice president of converged infrastructure solutions, CDW. \u201cToday, organizations need new technologies that increase efficiency, accommodate a dispersed workforce and integrate customer communications, while freeing up IT staff to work on other projects. Built upon industry-leading technology from Cisco, CDW Cloud Collaboration includes all the features necessary to provide organizations with top collaboration services<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

CDW\u2019s Cloud Collaboration solution, powered by the Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution (HCS), provides organizations with exceptional flexibility in choosing the way that collaboration applications are deployed. The capability to choose a hosted deployment option can also help organizations deploy collaboration technologies faster, while potentially lowering capital expenditures and operating expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs enterprises adopt collaboration technologies to quickly connect people with a high level of security to the resources and information they need to get work done, many businesses are requiring cloud solutions and looking for options from partners,\u201d said Richard McLeod, senior director, Worldwide Partner Collaboration Sales at Cisco. \u201cBased on Cisco HCS, CDW Cloud Collaboration provides customers with the flexibility to have collaboration applications delivered to them as services, with ongoing support and management provided by CDW.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDW Cloud Collaboration is supported by a dedicated team of CDW solution architects and engineers, and each client will have its own highly secure, virtualized private intranet hosted in CDW\u2019s facilities. Partnering with Cisco helps ensure that CDW Cloud Collaboration meets a proven quality standard, with CDW\u2019s expert team ready to support implementation and management. CDW holds Cisco Master Certifications in unified communications, managed services and security, and the CDW team includes more than 600 Cisco certified engineers, including more than 50 with the CCIE certification \u2013 the highest technical certification offered by Cisco. Further demonstrating CDW\u2019s deep knowledge, Cisco recently named CDW its Global Partner of the Year \u2013 Americas and awarded the company its U.S. Nationals Architectural Excellence Award for Collaboration.<\/p>\n
