SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA, July 26, 1999 --Having met the rigid qualification criteria set forth by Intel Corporation, Aberdeen Computer Services and Consulting (CSC) announced today that they have joined the elite group of Intel Product Dealers designated as an Intel Authorized Solution Provider (IASP). Only the most committed dealers qualify for this level of recognition, which is why only about 2% make the grade. Intel deliberately makes it extremely difficult to get authorized in order to maintain the integrity of their reputation as the premier authority on cutting-edge computer technology. The faint of heart need not apply.
Adding the Intel authorization to their already impressive list of credentials establishes Aberdeen CSC as a leader in the computer support industry in Southern California. "The IASP blessing, combined with our previously acquired Microsoft Certified Solution Provider status along with expertise in Novell, SCO Unix and Linux, makes us the perfect choice for any organization, large or small, to call upon for any computer support or consulting need," said CSC Division Vice President, Jack Tateel. "With the full gamut of certifications, our staff of 60+ employees is second to none," he added.
Intel is committed to providing its customers with superior quality products and services. Many of their products are extremely complex and require support from thoroughly trained technicians. Therefore, Intel requires each IASP to have both an Intel Certified Solutions Consultant and an Intel Certified Integration Specialist in their employ at all times. "The training is grueling," admits Chuck Jansen, Aberdeen's Intel Certified Solutions Consultant, "but I'm glad I toughed-it out. I can recommend the most complex of solutions with the utmost of confidence."
IASPs, and hence, their customers, benefit from the Intel partnership in many ways. Not only are they the preferred source for Intel products and services, but they also have direct access to Intel's Network Design Center, proprietary information, early access to upcoming products and the ability to offer attractive financial incentives on select products. Furthermore, IASPs receive priority support and access to expert tools that help them provide advanced solutions to their customers who demand comprehensive and balanced networking solutions in a quick and efficient manner.
Becoming an IASP has elevated Aberdeen Computer Services and Consulting to the top tier of providers of all computer and network support services.
