NEC XON has earned both Cisco Gold Integrator and multinational Gold integrator in the Middle East Africa Region.
The recognitions confirm the company’s ability to deliver enterprise-grade managed services at scale across Africa and the Middle East.
Last October, in collaboration with NEC (Nippon Electric Corporation) a Global Gold Provider, NEC XON achieved the Cisco Gold Provider, representing the highest level of Cisco’s Provider designation for managed services. The recognition follows a rigorous, independent audit of NEC XON and other NEC affiliates technical capabilities, customer references, service delivery, and support operations.
For telco and enterprise customers across sub-Saharan Africa, it affirms that NEC XON can design, deliver, and operate Cisco-based managed services with 24×7 coverage, audited processes, and measurable outcomes.
“This recognition isn’t just a badge – it’s independent proof that our managed networking and security services meet a global standard and deliver results where it matters: uptime, security, and speed to value,” says Mauritz Kotze, Cisco business unit lead at NEC XON. “Across South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and beyond, our English- and French-speaking teams combine regional expertise with Cisco’s innovation to power our customers’ missions.”
Gold Provider status reduces risk and accelerates outcomes through audited delivery maturity, consistent onboarding, documented runbooks, and proactive operations governed by defined response and change-control targets. Customers benefit from a single partner and unified SLA framework across multiple countries-ideal for telcos, banks, and regulated enterprises that require standardised reporting, governance, and compliance alignment.
