Mindsight Wins Cisco Awards: “Most Strategic” And “Best Hunter”

 

August 29, 2018 by Siobhan Climer

In an exciting announcement, Cisco named Mindsight as the winner of two FY18 Partner Awards. Mindsight won the Most Strategic Partner in Collaboration Architecture award in mid-August. In addition, Cisco awarded Mindsight’s own Eric Christensen, Senior Account Executive, with the Best Partner Hunter award. All-in-all, it is an exciting acknowledgement of the work Mindsight does as part of the Chicago community to build long-term partnerships, deliver extraordinary collaboration services, and help solve our clients’ toughest technology challenges.

 

Most Strategic Partner in Collaboration Architecture

 

It’s no secret that Mindsight knows collaboration, since we started out almost two decades ago selling Cisco hardware to call centers. Nor should it be a secret that we evolved with the industry, adjusting to deliver omnichannel solutions to contact centers and provide ongoing technical support through managed services and projects.

Video conferencing, voice support, and collaboration endpoint tools like Cisco’s WebEx Teams are necessary to the daily operation of most businesses. According to the Harvard Business Review, 72% of global business leaders note the increasing importance of effective communication, both internally between teams and externally to clients and customers.

Mindsight helps organizations at every level to develop a long-term strategy for enhanced collaboration and delivers those tools efficiently with continuous support. As the Most Strategic Partner in Collaboration Architecture, Mindsight works with Cisco to provide collaboration tools in conjunction with the unique needs of every business. Part of why Mindsight wins Cisco awards is because of our years of experience, exceptional delivery, and trusted relationship.

Best Partner Hunter

Eric has been with Mindsight for over two years, and he models the straight-forward and savvy mindset we employ every day. Eric’s mission, in his own words, is “to be a personable, ethical, solutions-based father, husband, and employee”.

Mindsight is built on relationships: relationships within our organization, relationships with our partners, and relationships with our clients. Even our name demonstrates this, as ‘mindsight’ comes from a term in psychology referencing one’s ability to reflect both internally and externally. When Mindsight wins Cisco awards, it is because of the work every member of our team does every day to build trust and transparency, looking inward at what we do and outward at what our clients need.

Mindsight works directly with the Chicago team and the Illinois – Wisconsin team, striving to create sustainable partnerships and focus on the strategy behind technological innovation and implementation. What makes the announcement this year about Mindsight winning Cisco’s awards particularly exciting is that this is the FY2018 Partner Awards’ first official year.
