Italtel Recognized by Cisco as a Video Surveillance Authorized Technology Provider in Italy

MILAN, July 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Italtel announced today that it has achieved Video Surveillance
Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation
recognizes Italtel 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(R) 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 to add another Cisco ATP partner status to our list of
Cisco credentials," said Camillo Ascione, Head of Cisco & OEM Products &
Solutions at Italtel. "This remarkable accomplishment of being recognized as
Video Surveillance Authorized Technology Provider in Italy, validates our
commitments to provide our customers not only with IT security solutions but
also with truly integrated, IP network-based solutions that enables the
convergence of video, voice, and alarm and sensor data to improve safety and
physical security of people and critical assets."

    "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, Italtel 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, Italtel 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.
