Cisco to expand presence in Myanmar

Telecom Lead Asia: Cisco has decided to expand its presence in Myanmar.

The networking major will invest in a channel partner network as part of its expansion.

It also announced the appointment of the first two Cisco Networking Academies at the University of Computer Studies, Yangon (UCSY) and University of Computer Studies, Mandalay (UCSM).

Cisco is also providing training and development to grow the partner businesses in Myanmar.

Genuine Cisco products and software offered through Cisco authorized distributors in Thailand to channel partners in Myanmar help businesses better manage software licensing, warranty and technical support issues.

Cisco authorized channel partners are trained to help ensure that network equipment is regularly upgraded and software is up-to-date, protecting the integrity of the network.

In association with USAID, Cisco has established the first Networking Academies at the University of Computer Studies, Yangon (UCSY) and University of Computer Studies, Mandalay (UCSM). This will provide students with critical information technology (IT) and networking skills.

Cisco is donating networking equipment for labs and providing 21st century career skills training for up to 15 faculty staff from the two universities to support the program.

Cisco has established over 10,000 Networking Academies in 165 countries, helping individuals build ICT skills and prepare for industry-recognized certifications and entry-level ICT careers in most industries.

Tatchapol Poshyanonda, managing director for Cisco in Thailand and Indochina, said: “The re-integration of Myanmar into the international community is a very important period not just for Indochina, but for ASEAN and potentially the world.”
