HERNDON, VA - April 26, 2012 - ePlus
inc. (NASDAQ NGS:
PLUS) announced today that its subsidiary,
ePlus Technology, inc., has achieved renewal of
the Video Surveillance Authorized Technology Provider (ATP)
status from Cisco. This designation recognizes
ePlus as having fulfilled the training
requirements and program prerequisites to design, resell,
install, and maintain a full range of video surveillance
and access-control solutions.
Cisco® physical-security solutions provide network-centric
capabilities to video surveillance, Internet Protocol (IP)
cameras, electronic access control, and other
groundbreaking technologies by converging voice, data, and
physical security into a single appliance. This enables
customers to preserve existing investments in analog-based
technology and to use the network as a platform upon which
more collaborative and integrated physical-security systems
can be built. As customers converge physical-security
infrastructures and operations and begin using the network
as a platform, they gain rapid access to relevant
information and increase interoperability with other
IP-centric systems. This enables higher levels of
situational awareness in environments where intelligent and
timely decision making is crucial.
"We're pleased with the renewal of our Cisco Video
Surveillance ATP status," said Jerry McIntosh, vice
president of advanced technology solutions at
ePlus Technology. "Through this renewal, combined
with our Cisco TelePresence Video Master ATP status and our
Advanced Audio and Video Solutions offering, ePlus
helps customers collaborate, educate, and protect using the
latest video solutions and technology-by capturing,
transforming, and sharing real-time video information
critical to securing facilities and personnel and in
responding to emergencies."
"As we move into new markets and emerging technologies, the
Cisco Authorized Technology Provider Partners are
instrumental in helping our customers turn innovative
technology into a competitive advantage," said Steve
Benvenuto, director of emerging technologies for worldwide
channels at Cisco. "As a Cisco Video Surveillance ATP
Partner, ePlus brings a unique set of skills to
potential customers, combining a proven physical-security
track record with Cisco expertise."
To qualify for the Video Surveillance ATP Program,
ePlus had to meet a number of requirements, from
having staff who fulfill specific job responsibilities to
achieving the Cisco Express Foundation Specialization.
Those requirements are designed to help a partner maintain
high levels of customer satisfaction.
The Cisco ATP Program is a key part of Cisco's emerging
technology go-to-market strategy. The program helps define
the knowledge, skills, and services that channel partners
need to successfully sell, deploy, and support a subject
technology. As markets mature and technologies progress
along the adoption curve, some ATP programs may migrate to
Cisco specializations.
ePlus is a Cisco Gold Certified Partner and has
achieved Cisco Master Specializations in Security and
Unified Communications as well as the Cisco Managed
Services Master Certification. In addition, ePlus
holds Cisco's Cloud Builder designation as well as Cisco
Specializations in Advanced Data Center Architecture,
Advanced Data Center Networking Infrastructure, Advanced
Borderless Network Architecture, Advanced Collaboration
