Master Unified Communications Specialization Recognizes Cisco Channel Partners for Industry-Leading Capabilities in Applications Integration, Lifecycle Services and Solution Selling

HOUSTON -- INX Inc. (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today it has achieved the Master Unified Communications Specialization from Cisco System[R]. This specialization recognizes INX for their proven capability to meet the growing global demand for highly sophisticated, applications-based unified communications solutions.

Mark Hilz, President and COO for INX commented, "Since our inception we have focused on technical excellence as a key component of delivering best-in-class IP communications solutions to enterprise customers. This focus drove us to begin investing in our life-cycle support business unit, 'NetSurant', in 2003 and we now have a mature organization with processes that are based on the ITIL framework of services management. As unified communications solutions continue to change in their technical requirements, INX will continue to invest in our capabilities ahead of our customers' requirements. What will not change is our Business Ready Networks approach that focuses on delivering business value by addressing and helping our customers meet their business objectives through advanced technology solutions."

"We are pleased to join this very select group of partners recognized by Cisco with this certification and we believe that the development of this top level endorsement for its most advanced partners will be good for enterprise customers in that it will direct them toward partners capable of executing and supporting their most complex, largest scale unified communications business initiatives," concluded Hilz.

"To help turn the promise of unified communications into a strategic advantage, customers are demanding an enhanced set of skills and capabilities from channel partners," said Edison Peres, vice president and chief go-to-market officer for worldwide channels at Cisco. "The Master Unified Communications Specialization validates and rewards Cisco channel partners like INX for developing solution centric practices around unified communications."

The Master Unified Communications Specialization is designed to recognize an elite group of channel partners who have the most in-depth technology skills and proven track record of customer success in selling, deploying and supporting sophisticated Cisco Unified Communication solutions.

To achieve the Master Unified Communications Specialization, partners must first attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. Channel partners must then meet a series of stringent requirements in three categories: Technology Capabilities, Sales Expertise, and Life Cycle Services Offering. Partners must possess a number of Cisco and industry-standard technical certification requirements, including a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) in voice, demonstrate sales capabilities with a proven track record of five customer references, and demonstrate the infrastructure to support a full menu of Lifecycle Service offerings and capabilities with emphasis on Day 2 support and optimization services.
