Avit received two major awards at the annual Cisco Partner Awards: One Cisco Partner of the Year and Collaboration Partner of the Year. With these awards, Cisco recognizes Avit ’s exceptional performance in the collaboration domain and the role the company plays in successfully deploying the full Cisco platform for customers.
The One Cisco Partner of the Year award is a new distinction within the Cisco partner ecosystem. It is presented to a partner that successfully translates the power of the Cisco platform into tangible customer value by effectively integrating technologies such as networking, security, observability, collaboration, and services.
For Avit , the award recognizes a strategy that combines in-depth technical expertise with a broad vision of digital infrastructure and innovation.
The Collaboration Partner of the Year award also underscores the strong position that Avit has built within the collaboration domain. With one of the highest levels of expertise in Cisco certifications and CCIEs among partners and a strong focus on innovation and adoption, Avit ranks among the most specialized Cisco partners in the Netherlands.
Recognition for years of investment in expertise
“This double award is a wonderful recognition of the path we have followed in recent years,” says Hamid Abedini, Managing Director at Avit.
“Collaboration is a strategic priority in which we have consciously invested in knowledge, innovation, and customer success. We are immensely proud that Cisco has recognized us for this with the Collaboration Partner of the Year award. Being named One Cisco Partner of the Year is, for us, a confirmation of something deeply embedded in Avit ’s DNA: our belief in the power of the platform. It is precisely by connecting technologies that we can help customers get more value out of their IT investments and prepare their organizations for the future.”
According to Dennis Veltman, Director of Partnerships for Benelux at Cisco, Avit distinguishes itself by combining specialized depth with broad expertise across the entire Cisco platform.
“Avit possesses exceptionally strong expertise in collaboration while also demonstrating how organizations can realize greater value by successfully integrating different technology areas. That combination of technical excellence, customer focus, and platform vision makes Avit a well-deserved winner of both One Cisco Partner of the Year and Collaboration Partner of the Year.”
Distinctive position within the Cisco ecosystem
The awards reflect the investments Avit has made in recent years in knowledge development, certifications, and service delivery. Within the revamped Cisco 360 Partner Program, Avit recently achieved five Preferred statuses, confirming the company’s expertise across multiple strategic technology areas.
Combined with one of the highest concentrations of Cisco-certified specialists and CCIEs within the partner channel, these awards underscore Avit ’s position as one of the most specialized Cisco partners in the Netherlands.
