Kcom, the communications integration specialist, has been named as winner of two awards by Cisco. The team from Kcom received awards for Cisco Collaboration Partner of Year for UK & Ireland and for EMEAR. The accolades were presented at an awards reception at Cisco's Partner Summit taking place in Montreal this week. The Partner Summit brings together 2,200 Cisco partners and reaches over 7,500 virtual attendees.

We are delighted to have been recognised by Cisco for our collaboration capability. It's a reflection of the success achieved through the close working relationship our team has with Cisco. Our customers are looking for tangible business benefits from their IT investment and we have been able to consistently demonstrate how our experience in integrating and optimising their increasingly complex technology environment can deliver those outcomes.
