STEMO defended its golden partnership and for the next year covered Cisco's stringent standards of network competence, service, support, customer satisfaction and project management.

The certification was conducted within the Cisco Channel Partner Program, which provides partners with a framework to build the commercial and technical skills needed to deliver Cisco solutions to customers. With the acquisition of specializations and certifications, Cisco assesses the partner's expertise in implementing solutions based on Cisco's advanced technologies and services. Following a third-party audit, the program confirms the partner's technology skills, business practices, customer satisfaction, pre- and after-sales support, and other critical factors that customers consider when choosing a trusted partner.
As a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, STEMO has met the requirements to achieve the widest range of skills in multiple technologies, with a high level of specialization in the following areas:
Advanced Enterprise Networks Architecture Specialization
Advanced Collaboration Architecture Specialization
Advanced Data Center Architecture Specialization
Advanced Security Architecture Specialization
The company is required to provide a high level of customer satisfaction from their co-operation with Cisco.
Certification as Gold Partner gives CEMO access to technical and commercial training and support provided by Cisco, and new business opportunities.
