Cisco
Cisco enables people to make powerful connections-whether in business, education, philanthropy, or creativity.
Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used to create the Internet solutions that make networks possible-providing easy access to information anywhere, at any time. Cisco was founded in 1984 by a small group of computer scientists from Stanford University. Since the company's inception, Cisco engineers have been leaders in the development of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies.
Today, with more than 67,647 employees worldwide, this tradition of innovation continues with industry-leading products and solutions in the company's core development areas of routing and switching, as well as in advanced technologies, such as IP Communications, network security, wireless LAN, storage area networking, home networking, video systems, and application networking services.
TelePresence
In November 2008, Orange met all ATP (Advanced Technology provider) program requirements and criteria necessary to earn the designation of Cisco ATP - Cisco TelePresence Global partner. Today, Orange is one of only two partners to achieve the ATP Global TelePresence certification.
We completed a much focused effort to increase the level of Cisco sales and support capabilities within our organization. We have met the rigorous Cisco certified personnel levels required for an ATP - Cisco TelePresence Global partner. We have approximately 115 certified people worldwide in the TelePresence area. This helps ensure that our sales and support organizations are better prepared to properly sell, design, install, and support the ATP program specific technology and products.
