Certifications are an excellent way to achieve self-improvement, greater technical knowledge, and higher career goals.
Advanced Unibyte GmbH, based in Metzingen, Germany, has taken the drive for excellence and career growth to new levels with a team approach to certification.
They've studied, practiced, and tested as a team for multiple CCIE certifications to contribute to the company's success and their own team achievements.
This team effort paid off, winning the company Cisco Gold Partner status.
Now that Cisco is celebrating 30 years of the CCIE certification program, it's a great time to tell AU's story.
CCIE certification makes sense with AU's networking expertise.
When team leaders considered the certifications the company needed, they reviewed all of the Cisco architectures.
The team also decided to specialize in Customer Experiences to meet Cisco's regulations for Gold Partners, which was the perfect fit for their philosophy of customer relationship and lifecycle management.
What's more, CCIE certification is required for Cisco Gold Partner status.
Customers in Germany value the CCIE so much that most companies cannot work with public customers unless they have Gold Partner status.
CCNP and CCIE certification just made sense - not only for the good of individuals' careers but also for the AU's business opportunities.
Since its inception on Sept. 27, 1993, the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert certification has evolved from a two-day test in which candidates set up hardware and initialize a pod with basic configurations on the first day and then return on the second day to perform more advanced configurations and troubleshoot scenarios.
Today, the CCIE lab exam is a 1-day test that focuses more on network strategy, architecture, and the network lifecycle, with specific regard to planning and designing for customer requirements.
Today's CCIE certification is accepted worldwide as the most prestigious networking certification in the industry.
Now, you can stay ahead of the latest exam technology changes with Cisco Certification Roadmaps.
To meet the Cisco Gold qualifications, CTO Stephan Körner wanted the group to achieve a minimum of four CCIEs.
In typical AU team fashion, nearly 30 technical guys chose different paths in the Cisco certification program - from CCNA to CCIE - and started to prep together, from studying the certification exam blueprints to building their own labs, both for certification exam prep as well as practice, it was a team effort.
Neu believes the group certification process was only achievable because the whole company was involved.
When all was said and done, the group would celebrate four of their teammates earning the CCIE Data Center certification.
Since earning Cisco Gold Partner status, the company has seen a 40 percent increase in revenue, with another 20 percent growth expected in the next two years.
