HERNDON, VA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS) announced that ePlus Technology inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary, has achieved TelePresence Authorized Technology
Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes ePlus as
having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to
sell, deploy and support Cisco TelePresence.
Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution is a revolutionary new category of
products that create live, "face-to-face" meeting experiences over an
Internet Protocol (IP) network. It combines the reach, intelligence and
reliability of the network with the simplicity of a telephone interface to
deliver an entirely new way for people to meet and collaborate. Cisco
TelePresence Meeting is the first application of Cisco TelePresence
technology.
"We're pleased to add another Cisco ATP status to our list of Cisco
credentials," said Jerry McIntosh, vice president of communications and
security solutions for ePlus Technology. "Through Cisco TelePresence
solutions, ePlus will bring enhanced communication and collaboration
capabilities to our customers. With the ability to connect 'in person' at
a moment's notice, customers will be able to realize greater productivity,

collaboration," said Richard McLeod, director of unified communications
for worldwide channels at Cisco. "As a Cisco TelePresence ATP partner,
ePlus has made an investment in the sales, technical, and lifecycle
services capabilities that our customers need to help customers
successfully deploy complete solutions."
The Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) Program is part of Cisco's
go-to-market strategy for emerging technologies. The program helps Cisco
to define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to
successfully sell, deploy and support an emerging technology. As the
market changes, an ATP may be discontinued or evolve into a Cisco
specialization.
In addition to Cisco Master Specializations in Security and Unified
Communications, ePlus holds Cisco Advanced Specializations in Routing and
Switching, Data Center Storage Networking, Data Center Networking
Infrastructure, and Wireless LAN as well as Cisco Authorized Technology
Provider (ATP) designations in Network Hosted Storage, Video Surveillance,

About Cisco TelePresence
The Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution combines the industry's first
ultra-high-definition 1080p video with high-quality, wideband spatial
audio, imperceptible latency, and comprehensive environmental design.
Meeting participants feel as if they are in the same room, even though
they may be on separate continents. With the ability to see and hear
others in ultra-high-definition video and wideband spatial audio, users
truly experience the subtleties and nuances delivered by body language,
eye contact and facial gestures that make up more than 60 percent of
communications. With Cisco TelePresence, participants focus on the meeting
and not the technology.
