Designation Recognizes Channel Partners with Highest Level of Unified Communication Expertise, Lifecycle Services and Success in Sales
Force 3 announced today it has achieved the Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco®. This specialization recognizes Force 3 as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support highly sophisticated applications- based Cisco Unified Communications solutions.
“We are extremely pleased to earn the Cisco Master Unified Communications Specialization,” said Sudhir Verma, Vice President of Consulting Services. “This achievement highlights our breadth and depth of expertise developing sales, technical, and service capabilities for integrated unified communications. Force 3’s investment in Master’s Unified Communications attests to our company’s commitment to meet and exceed industry standards.”
"To help turn the promise of unified communications into a strategic advantage, customers are demanding an enhanced set of skills and capabilities from channel partners,” said Richard McLeod, director of unified communications for worldwide channels at Cisco. “Force 3’s investment in the Master Unified Communications Specialization ranks them among the industry’s elite.”
To achieve the Master Unified Communications Specialization, resale channel partners must first attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. Partners must then meet stringent requirements that demonstrate their master-level sales, technical, and services capabilities. Furthermore, master specialized partners must possess a number of Cisco and industry-standard technical certification requirements, provide customer references that document Cisco-prescribed design and deployment capabilities; and show evidence that they have the infrastructure to support a full menu of Lifecycle Services offerings and capabilities.

Cisco resale partner specializations—SMB, Express, Advanced and Master—reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies. Cisco master specializations provide Force 3 access to comprehensive sales, technical, and lifecycle services training and support available from Cisco.
