KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – April 23, 2012 – Cisco will be running its bi-annual Advantage Now! Road Show in Malaysia in May 2012 with the focus on up-skilling its partner base to help small and medium-sized customers (SMB) maximize mobility and cloud technologies. Kicking off in Kuala Lumpur on May 22, 2012, the road show will be held in five major cities across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak.
The centerpiece of the road show is a new suite of products that include new Wireless Access Points, Routers, Switches, and Unified Communications offerings. These new solutions help to drive customer productivity and growth by allowing SMBs to get the most out of smartphones, tablets, and cloud applications and services.
The Cisco Advantage Now! Road Show has been running in the Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China region for four years now and is available to both Cisco-certified as well as non Cisco-certified partners in both tier-1 and tier-2 cities throughout the region. Each road show typically comprises presentations and training sessions about the latest initiatives, products, programs, insights and promotions from Cisco, to help them better serve their SMB customers.
“SMBs represent a very important part of our business and our partner community is the main way that we reach those customers. The Advantage Now road show that we conduct twice a year is an important vehicle for us to keep our partners up to date with our technologies. We also help our partners on the business side and have helped many to increase profitability,” said Yuri Wahab, managing director for Cisco in Malaysia.
“Cisco’s innovations are helping to ensure that businesses of all sizes can keep pace with the speed of their customers by helping them build the right network, securely and reliably. Mobility and cloud are two important care-abouts for our SMB customers with the number of mobile-connected devices expected to exceed the world’s population in 2012, and the adoption of cloud services by SMBs expected to hit 98 percent by 2015,” added Yuri.
The new portfolio of SMB products are all purpose-built for SMBs and designed to satisfy the new demands of an increasingly on-the-go work environment enabled by mobile devices and cloud services. By providing fast and highly secure connectivity for an ever-increasing number of mobile devices throughout the expanding workplace, Cisco products and solutions form the right network to accelerate access to information and people. In doing so, SMBs can respond to customers and make decisions with increased speed and confidence.
