IP Performance becomes first UK Blue Coat Systems Premier Partner to achieve BlueTouch Professional Services Partner (BTPSP) certification
Long Ashton, Bristol — October 26, 2011: IP Performance, a networking systems integrator and Value Added Reseller which specialises in delivering network infrastructure solutions to its customers, announced today that it is the first Blue Coat Systems Premier Partner in the UK to be certified as a BlueTouch Professional Services Partner (BTPSP).. As a certified partner, IP Performance has demonstrated it has the expertise to effectively deliver professional and consulting services to its customers. The BTPSP programme provides the framework for both organisational and individual consultant certifications covering Blue Coat specialisations in security, acceleration and visibility.
Debbie Cooney, Services Director at IP Performance, said “the certification enables us to not only demonstrate Blue Coat products and solutions in our Lab environment, but also gives us the ability to show our customers the capabilities of the products and the solutions we can offer. IP Performance Ltd has been a partner of Blue Coat for 11 years. Having been certified as a BlueTouch Support Partner two years ago, gaining BlueTouch Professional Services Partner status was a natural progression for the company. Coupled with our 24 x 7 x 365 manned support operation, we can now provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for all our customer needs.”
In order to meet the stringent requirements of BlueTouch Professional Services Partner certification, IP Performance had to demonstrate their expertise and familiarity in both specific technologies and product sets, including conducting professional engagements in compliance with Blue Coat standards. As a BlueTouch Professional Services Partner, IP Performance is able to offer a rounded portfolio of value-added professional services to support its customers where Blue Coat products are involved.
Kim Williams, vice president of technical sales and services at Blue Coat Systems, commented “as a certified BTPSP reseller, IP Performance’s consultants successfully passed a rigorous technical certification process and demonstrated a well-run consulting practice. As IP Performance continues to help its end user customers and channel partners in the UK successfully deploy Blue Coat solutions, we look forward to expanding our relationship with them.”
