During its annual Worldwide Partner Summit, held this year in New Orleans, USA, Cisco announced which of its partners won a European Cisco Partner Award in 2010.
Centralpoint.nl has been a valued Cisco partner for years. This influenced its choice as Cisco SME Partner of the Year 2009 and Cisco Small Business Partner of the Year 2010 for the Netherlands and the north region comprising the Benelux countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Among all the winners in all European countries, the announcement in New Orleans singled out Centralpoint.nl for its outstanding performance, awarding it the title of Cisco Small Business Partner of the Year European Markets 2011. Besides guest speaker and marathon runner, Paula Radcliffe, Cisco's complete European management team was present to award the prize to Marcel Joosten (Commercial Manager of Centrapoint.nl).
Fred Gerritse, Manager of the Partner Organisation at Cisco, explained: 'Because of its focused management strategy in 2010, Centralpoint.nl succeeded in increasing the small business turnover in 2010 by 50 percent, compared to the previous year. This means that they have significantly expanded their SME customer base. We also noticed that the buying frequency of existing Cisco customers has increased dramatically: more customers, enhanced buying frequency, increased awareness and structured, customer-orientated marketing'.
Exceptionally proud.
Managing Director Brian Speelman: 'We are exceptionally proud to win the Cisco Award this year, for the third in a row. It is an amazing achievement by our people and the people at Cisco.
