Airtel president enterprise services David
Nishball said, “Our aim is to be an end
to end managed services provider for Indian
enterprises - move beyond network management
to offer and provide converged application
services on business critical networks. The
Cisco Tier 1 certification is a big step in
that direction. It reinforces to our customers
our world class MPLS network and service offerings
capabilities and enables us to provide a host
of new industry defining managed service offerings
that will help our customers transform their
businesses. Our customers will now have access
to world class services using the latest technologies
on a leasing model offering competitive advantage
at low risk. They will be able to manage their
internal IT resources and investments better
and can focus on IT strategy and not IT integration.”
Cisco India and Saarc (South Asian Association
for Regional Co-Operation) Senior VP–
service provider Rajesh Chainani said, "We
would like to congratulate Airtel on achieving
the Tier 1 certification for Cisco's MSCP
program. By providing predictable and globally
consistent terms and by stabilizing access
to in-country products, managed service
providers can more easily deliver the network
and premise-based managed services, customers
demand. With this, we are confident that
Airtel will be able to extend the benefits
of this program to their enterprise customers
while delivering a quality managed service
experience."
The services are a part of Airtel's strategy
to migrate from TDM (Time Division Multiplexing)
to IP (internet protocol) based network
services and introduce a full suite of Managed
Services for Indian enterprises.
