The Presidio Corporation Joins the Cisco TelePresence Advanced Technology Provider Program

Greenbelt, MD – December 12, 2006 – The Presidio Corporation announced today it has achieved the TelePresence Advanced Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco Systems®. This designation is by invitation only and recognizes Presidio for having the expertise, intellectual property and lifecycle services capabilities necessary to deliver the Cisco TelePresence experience.

Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution is a revolutionary new category of products that create live, "face-to-face" meeting experiences over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, empowering users to interact and collaborate in ways they could not before. It combines the reach, intelligence and reliability of the network with the simplicity of a telephone interface to deliver an entirely new way for people to meet and collaborate. Cisco TelePresence Meeting is the first application of Cisco TelePresence technology.

“Presidio is pleased to be one of the small number of Cisco channel partners to achieve the TelePresence ATP status,” said Rudy Casasola, President of The Presidio Corporation. “Having successfully assembled, tested, configured and validated the TelePresence system in multiple locations, Presidio has a clear understanding of the benefits that TelePresence offers. Our customers across a wide-range of industries will be able to transform the way they conduct scheduled and impromptu meetings for both small and large groups. Participants in multiple geographies will be able to interact and collaborate cost-effectively and efficiently.”

"Cisco TelePresence is an innovative, new application that changes the entire realm of communications and collaboration," said Edison Peres, Vice President and Chief Go-To-Market Officer for Worldwide Channels, Cisco Systems. “Our TelePresence ATP partners, such as The Presidio Corporation, will help Cisco drive the technology across the chasm by delivering the sales, technical and lifecycle services capabilities customers need to successfully deploy the entire solution.”

The Cisco TelePresence Experience

The Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution combines the industry's first ultra-high- definition 1080p video and high-quality, wideband spatial audio, imperceptible latency, with comprehensive environmental design. Meeting participants feel as if they are in the same room together, even though they may be located across the globe. With the ability to see and hear others in ultra-high-definition video and wideband spatial audio, users truly experience the subtleties and nuances delivered by body language, eye contact and facial gestures that make up more than 60 percent of communications. With Cisco TelePresence, participants focus on the meeting and not the technology.
