CPI Solutions has achieved Cisco's advanced security specialization, do enterprise customers value it?

Arnie Friedman"CPI has offered security consulting in some way, shape or form for approximately 10 years. There is no more profound need amongst companies today. The quality and availability of their data relies on it."

"We find Cisco’s suite of security technologies to be the most complete and comprehensive in the industry. Becoming a Cisco Advanced Security Partner greatly enhances our knowledge base while positioning us as one of the leading security partners in California."

"Security concerns will become even more dramatic in the years to come. Planting the seeds and beginning the implementation of protective measure today will go along way towards corporate comfort in the future," said Arnie Friedman, president and founder of CPI Solutions.

CPI is one of only twenty-nine Cisco partners in the United States to have both Silver Partner status and the Advanced Security Specialization.

If one were to use CPI Solutions as an example, it certainly appears that advanced Cisco specialization and superb Cisco customer satisfaction go hand-in-hand.

But I still feel compelled to ask, do enterprise customers value Cisco's advanced security specialization?
