ISC turns Gold into Platinum

ISC today announced that it has been invited to become Citrix’s seventh UK elite partner, with the award of the Citrix Platinum Solution Advisor accreditation.

Platinum is a ‘by invitation only’ accreditation available to only a handful of Citrix’s partners. ISC is the first UK partner to achieve Platinum status since 2005 and one of only seven UK Platinum partners in total.

ISC has been working with Citrix since 1997, developing considerable application delivery and virtualisation expertise as a Gold partner.

“The award of Platinum status shows that Citrix recognises our skills as being of the highest order and that’s great for our clients. It’s a superb validation of their choice of ISC as their application delivery partner,” said Will Todd, Solutions Director at ISC.

He continues, “as well as holding Citrix’s highest level of corporate accreditation we also boast five CCIAs (Citrix Certified Integration Architects). This is Citrix’s highest level of individual technical accreditation and we believe that five CCIAs is more than any other partner has in the UK and quite possibly Europe. Platinum not only recognises the breadth and depth of our technical skills, but it also enables us to develop them even further with greater access to Citrix technical resources and preferential, pre-launch access to new releases. And that ensures we’re high up the learning curve when we’re advising our clients on them.”

“ISC has been working with Citrix for 12 years and has built up a strong working relationship, so it’s great to accredit them as a Citrix Platinum Partner,” said Kevin Bland, channel director for UK & Ireland at Citrix. “ISC has shown great knowledge of Citrix’s product portfolio, and this announcement will be further proof to its customer base that ISC has the skills to deliver IT solutions with the right mix of business expertise and technical capability.”
