GTRI Achieves Cisco TelePresence Commercial Partner Status


Denver, CO – May 29, 2009 – Global Technology Resources, Inc. announced today that it has met all the requirements to achieve Cisco TelePresence Commercial Partner status, recognizing that GTRI is now qualified to sell, design, and deploy the Cisco TelePresence Commercial offering.

“Everyone knows communication fosters creativity, teamwork, and success. Whereas large scale, full-room systems are beneficial business communications occur at the local conference room more often than in the boardroom. The mid-tier Telepresence product offered by Cisco impact a business where the business gets done, within the workspace not within the main conference room. Moving forward GTRI is bringing more solutions focused on the workspace equipping our customers with solutions that truly impact business!” said Jim Raine, Director of Federal Business Development.

Cisco TelePresence Meeting is a new category of products that create live, “face-to-face” meeting experiences over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It combines reach, intelligence and reliability of the network with the simplicity of a telephone interface to deliver an entirely new way for people to meet and collaborate. Cisco TelePresence Meeting is the first application of Cisco TelePresence technology.

In addition to Cisco Master Specializations in Unified Communications and Cisco Powered Managed Services, GTRI holds Cisco Advanced Certifications in Data Center, Routing and Switching, Security, and Wireless LAN as well as Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) designations in IP Interoperability and Collaboration Systems, Outdoor Wireless Mesh, Rich Media Communications, and TelePresence.

Meeting participants feel as if they are in the same room, even though they may be on separate continents. With the ability to see and hear others in ultra-high-definition video and wideband spatial audio, users truly experience the subtleties and nuances delivered by body language, eye contact and facial gestures to make up more than 60 percent of communications. With Cisco TelePresence, participants focus on the meeting and no the technology.
