CDW employs a dedicated vendor accreditations coordinator (VAC) who takes responsibility for monitoring coworkers' technical and vendor sales certifications in line with our manufacturer partner accreditations. The VAC is part of our Vendor Alliances department, which comprises Vendor Managers for all major hardware manufacturers including HPE/I, Dell, IBM, Lenovo, HDS, Cisco, NetApp, and EMC. We have the highest -level reseller partnerships (Platinum or Gold) with these vendors, which are usually contingent on CDW maintaining minimum numbers of accredited resources at all levels from sales, pre -sales, field and systems engineer to architect. However, we tend to exceed these. Four CCIEs are required for a company to maintain its Cisco Gold Certified Partner status. CDW has more than 10x the required number with 63 CCIEs in our company. Each of the partner vendors has designated an Account Manager and Systems Engineer to CDW, who communicates product developments to our Vendor Managers, as well as the associated technical training courses available. Some vendors also have Partner Education Managers specializing in training and certification guidance for CDW. The Vendor Managers then work with the VAC to identify the staff impacted by the development and make bookings for training and exams.
