BOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts - Leading IT Service Providers Selected to Bring Technical Expertise and On-the-Ground Support to Crossbeam Customers in the UK and the Nordics

Crossbeam Systems, Inc., the leading provider of next-generation security platforms for high-performance networks, today announced that it has expanded its Crossbeam Accredited Service Provider (CASP) partner program in Europe with the addition of two CASP-Support partners: mnemonic, an IT-security service provider based in Norway, and nscglobal, an integrated IT communications solution provider based in the UK.

“The addition of mnemonic and nscglobal to the CASP program is a key part of ensuring that we’re recruiting the most qualified channel partners to support Crossbeam’s global expansion,” said Keyur Patel, director of Worldwide Technical Support for Crossbeam. “We will select only a small number of high-level CASP-Support partners to serve our European customers to ensure that the level of expertise, commitment and support capabilities exceed what our customers demand. These partners meet our requirements on every level.”

CASP-Support partners are certified to provide 24-hour technical support to Crossbeam customers. These invitation-only partners receive intensive training and certification from Crossbeam in order to deliver on-the-ground diagnostics for any problems customers may encounter with Crossbeam product deployments. CASP-Support specialists also have online access to lab equipment that is used to recreate customer deployment scenarios and remotely resolve issues.

“The CASP-Support certification is an important addition to our security services portfolio, enabling us to support the growing number of Crossbeam customers throughout the Nordic region with the expertise and support they require,” said Jorn Tore Hov, vice president at mnemonic.

“We are extremely pleased to be part of Crossbeam’s CASP-Support partner certification, as it offers ncsglobal a market advantage in supporting Crossbeam customers in the UK, and enables us to offer customers truly tailored security support solutions,” said Julian Laister, marketing director at nscglobal.
