Strategic partners Marston's Telecoms and Cisco showcased their joint channel strategy and roadmap to delegates at Innovation Enterprise, their first channel event staged at the Mi-Idea Innovations Centre in Manchester on May 24th.
The strengthening partnership between Marston's Telecoms and Cisco is gaining in significance and first came to light when the comms provider expanded its hosted voice solution with Cisco's HV1 handsets last September.
Two months later Marston's linked-up with Cisco distributor Westcon Comstor and on-boarded the Comstor Mentor Program, enabling the business to ramp up its Cisco ambitions.
The move built on the Cisco Select certification held by Marston's and signalled a sharper focus on technologies such as Cisco Unified Communications & Collaboration and Cisco Meraki.
"Cisco's product and distribution support emphasises a tech edge to the company that was always there but not so visible," stated Marston's Telecoms MD Mike McMinn (pictured).
"Together we hosted an intimate event that showcased the benefits of our collaboration to partners and customers."
The partnership also builds on the infrastructure and connectivity investments made by Marston's that enable it to offer enterprise grade cloud solutions to partners.
