Logicalis Receives Award for Delivering the Highest Levels of Customer Satisfaction around Cisco Unified Communications and Network Solutions

Bloomfield Hills, MI – May 29, 2007 – Logicalis, Inc., a global provider of high-performance technology solutions and a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, today announced it was recognized for Cisco Customer Satisfaction Excellence. The recognition is Cisco’s highest honor for solution providers and recognizes Logicalis for its customer dedication and support. Logicalis’ methodology and customer service were reviewed and assessed by an independent research firm, which found Logicalis had met the overall requirement of an average customer satisfaction score of 4.70 / 5.00 or greater. In addition, Logicalis was recognized with a perfect post-sale record with 100 percent of surveyed customers rating Logicalis a 5.00 / 5.00.

“We pride ourselves on delivering excellent customer service both before and after an implementation,” said Ron Temske, Vice President for Cisco Solutions at Logicalis. “We have been designing, deploying, and managing complex Unified Communications environments for longer than most partners. Our customer satisfaction results can be attributed to our extensive experience, and our highly trained and dedicated delivery consultants,” continued Temske.

“The combination of Cisco's exceptional unified communication solutions and Logicalis' world class design and implementation expertise creates a powerful value to bring to our clients,” said Terry Flood, President, Logicalis. “Logicalis sees tremendous opportunity in this space for our clients to realize the full benefits of unified communications. It is clear organizations across the country and globally are moving aggressively in this direction.”

The Cisco Customer Satisfaction Excellence Award is based upon customers providing feedback through a web-based interview tool, administered by an independent agency. Customers are asked to rate their provider on timely response, pre-sale and post-sale support, accuracy and performance of implemented solutions, staff knowledge and ability to resolve issues, meeting budgetary guidelines and more. The rigorous assessment is designed to give customers a way to quickly determine which Cisco partners consistently deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
