National network integration specialist Integr8 IT has placed a premium on being a 3Com accredited skills base. The majority of the company`s system engineers are 3CSEs (3Com Certified Solutions Experts) and have proven skills when it comes to components that make up the core or `engine room` of a network.
In keeping with the company`s philosophy of focusing on the knowledge capital located within its intellectual capital base and converting this into a structural capital, Integr8 IT has ensured that its staff complete a number of examinations to achieve the highest level of 3Com experience and product knowledge. This enables them to provide the right solution, the right advice and the right skills for a client.
According to Jan Roux, technical manager at Integr8 IT, the company has a strong technical component with all staff either accredited 3Com Certified Network Associates or 3Com Certified Solution Experts. This is a natural progression stemming from the company`s top partnership with 3Com.
"A 3CSE certification is aimed at highly technical professionals such as systems engineers and IT/MIS staff who focus on activities such as determining customer needs as well as recommending and designing business solutions. Our system integrators understand the product and are familiar with all configurations. 3Com aims its product at the heart of the network and because of our commitment to qualification and knowledge, our staff are able to provide reliable advice. Essentially, if one knows how the network is running, it is easier to identify other issues, trouble-shoot and understand the overall networking infrastructure," says Roux.
Lance Fanaroff, Integr8 IT director, says: "3Com is a market leader in the networking space. It constantly delivers innovative, feature-rich solutions for all types of businesses, with a multitude of connections stored globally. 3Com is experienced in helping organisations build performance, ease of use, functionality and reliability into their networks."
"Customers want the reassurance that they are dealing with companies whose skills are recognised by the vendor and correctly certified. Of our Bronze, Silver and Gold partners Integr8 IT has the most 3Com accredited technicians," says 3Com SA account manager, Bernadette Parker.
"Integr8 IT has demonstrated its commitment to its customers by offering additional value-added services - most significantly its 24x7 support infrastructure," she says.
Erez Grushka, operations manager at Integr8 IT, describes the company`s alliance with 3Com as very beneficial, especially in light of the development around convergence within the network space and the subsequent technology related to the combination of IP telephony, computers, security and broad range connectivity.
"It is all about businesses finding new, faster and more effective ways to communicate. 3Com is experienced in helping organisations build performance, ease of use, functionality and reliability into their networks. The company concentrates on business mobility and a comprehensive wireless technology offering, and has skilled themselves up heavily in this regard. Wireless has grown rapidly worldwide, and is fast becoming a standard. With its flexibility and ease-of-use, more companies are going this route and Integr8 IT will ensure to be market leaders with this regard," adds Grushka.
