The IPICS ATP designation recognizes SBCS as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell deploy and support Cisco IPICS solutions. 

“Becoming one of the few 14 Cisco IPICS ATP Partners in the United States demonstrates a significant commitment to meeting the advanced technology requirements of our customers. Specifically, our Mine Safety Communication Center system extends the Public Safety benefits of IPICS into the commercial market,” says Mike Owens, SBCS President.

SBCS is using this Cisco technology to provide a safer work environment for workers with IPICS acting as a bridge between communication devices and providing alerts to emergency responders and regulators. This ATP program builds the complex skills and knowledge within the channel partners required to deliver IPICS design, deployment, and support services.

“Cisco Authorized Technology Provider Partners are instrumental in helping our customers successfully deploy some of the most sophisticated networking solutions in the market today,” said Edison Peres, vice president and chief go-to-market officer for Worldwide Channels at Cisco. “As a IPICS ATP partner, Strictly Business Computer Systems has made an investment in the training necessary for tailoring the technology to fulfill customer objectives.” 

The Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) Program is a key part of Cisco’s emerging technology go-to-market strategy.  The program helps define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to successfully sell, deploy and support a subject technology.  As markets mature and technologies progress along the adoption curve, some ATP programs may migrate to Cisco Specializations.
