Providea Conferencing Named Cisco's Partner of the Year and Top Growth Partner

Camarillo, CA - April 19, 2010 - Providea Conferencing, LLC announced today that they were recognized as the "Partner of the Year" and "Top Growth Partner" by Cisco at their 2010 partner summit held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Providea is a leading single-source provider of telepresence, high-definition video conferencing, audiovisual and networked solutions, and offers a portfolio of comprehensive managed services that ensure the high quality, reliable meetings that executives demand.

"We are thrilled to recognize Providea as Cisco's 'Partner of the Year,'" said Todd Meister, Vice President of Americas Channels for Cisco. "Providea has demonstrated tremendous commitment to our market-leading technology in sales as well as service and product support. Their people and results are best-in-class and therefore they are very deserving of this award."

"Being named Cisco's 'Partner of the Year' validates our continued investment in delivering their high quality solutions including telepresence, infrastructure and high-definition video conferencing coupled with our own world-class support services," said Todd Luttinger, CEO and President of Providea Conferencing, LLC. "Earning this award is most significant considering the hundreds of quality partners Cisco enjoys nationwide. Being singled out as the 'best of the best' is most gratifying."

The Top Growth Partner award is given to partners who have exceeded 30% year-over-year growth in Cisco revenue in 2009 and have met the minimum requirements for the enVision Partner Program for the past two years.

"Providea has successfully grown their business at a faster pace than Cisco," said Todd Meister. "They have continued to invest in competence and have been able to effectively demonstrate the value of video conferencing and telepresence to their customers."

"Receiving the 'Top Growth Partner' award for 2009 is a testimony to the commitment of our entire family at Providea," said Todd Luttinger.
