ST. CLOUD, MINN., APRIL 24, 2024 — Marco has successfully renewed its Cisco Gold Integrator status after demonstrating its team’s proficiency in providing value-added Cisco solutions through in-depth sales capabilities, technology skills, and service offerings.
Marco has been a certified Cisco Gold Partner since 2020 — an elite distinction for business technology providers in the U.S. and around the world. However, Cisco’s partner program includes four primary roles to further distinguish participants’ abilities: integrator, advisor, provider, and developer.
Marco’s Chief Revenue Officer, Clay Ostlund, states:
"I am extremely proud of the Marco team members who have devoted themselves to renewing our Gold Integrator status with Cisco. Their hard work and dedication have brought enormous value to our company and to the customers we serve. It isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last.”

Cisco’s dedication to anticipating the needs and challenges of our customers and delivering forward-thinking solutions makes them an ideal long-term strategic partner for us. We are incredibly honored that Cisco sees Marco in a similar light.”
