LaSalle Solutions, a provider of life-cycle management services for technology and capital assets, confirmed that the company has successfully fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy, and support Cisco Unified Communications (News - Alert) solutions and thus has achieved the Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco.

To achieve the Master Unified Communications Specialization, LaSalle Solutions had to first attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. After meeting stringent requirements that demonstrate its master-level sales, technical, and services and infrastructure capabilities, LaSalle achieved this certification.

"As the technical bar keeps getting raised higher and higher, we are pleased that Cisco has recognized LaSalle Solutions for our expertise in combining a high level of knowledge, experience and capabilities with an investment in people, processes and technology," Steven Robb, president of the Solutions Group at LaSalle Solutions, said in a statement.

"As a company, we hold ourselves to the highest standard. This certification recognizes the achievement of that standard," Robb added.
