As COVID-19 has shifted from epidemic to pandemic status, precautionary action has become essential to reduce the spread of the virus. Now more than ever, we must find ways to support each other from a distance and help those in need using digital means. Local businesses are embracing ‘grab and go’ methods, while more and more corporate companies have adopted video conferencing software like Webex. Outside of work, families living separately have become acquainted with FaceTime and Skype to stay connected.

Internetwork Engineering (IE) is monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and has taken steps to protect all of its stakeholders. We are assessing the situation daily and following all recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local authorities.

We are excited to announce that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named us to its 2020 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category!

Earlier this month at Cisco’s annual partner conference in Las Vegas, Nevada Internetwork Engineering (IE) was honored with both the Architectural Excellence Partner of the Year Award for Security and Cisco Capital Partner of the Year Award for its innovation, leadership and best practice as a Cisco business partner across the South. Chuck Steiner, IE President and CEO accepted the award on behalf of IE for its consultative approach to not only ensuring customers get the most out of their IT budgets, getting the latest technology for less, but also making sure those new technology opportunities don’t create additional security risks for their business.

From RFID asset tracking and data analytics to connected sensors and access control, the Internet of Things (IoT) promises to provide businesses with marketable, actionable insights to help them grow.
