Expanding North East communications company, Knowledge I.T has picked up a prestigious regional technology award after beating off strong competition.

The field of competitors had grown again this year to make Sunderland’s Portfolio Business Awards the biggest yet. However, even with increased competition, it was Knowledge I.T’s latest division Nexent that impressed the judges to receive the Technology award.

“This company has developed a system which has significantly helped grow its business in a short period of time, due to the fact that it offers its customers improved services which in turn will save them time and money" said the judges.

Nexent Communications is the first unified network system in the North East that unites all business communications into one package, allowing companies to replace multiple suppliers with one provider and just one bill.

“This is a wonderful achievement for the company,” said Martin Coleman, managing director, “The award is a great addition to what has already been a very successful year for Knowledge.

"I am absolutely delighted for the whole team," Martin continued. "The process of setting up the Nexent division was something that could not have been done single-handedly – it has been a huge team effort."

The win follows on from Knowledge’s record year seeing sales revenues rise to £7.1 million, £1.8 million of which was generated in just six months by Nexent.

This unified business network system, which is able to provide all voice, data, business applications, internet, mobile and off-site data replication services through a single connection, has been adopted by almost 50 companies in the North East since it’s launch in April of this year. These organisations are able to make significant cost savings and provide an enhanced and more cost effective service to their customers.

Established above a hairdresser’s shop in Chester-le-Street in 1981, Knowledge has evolved to become one of the North East’s leading business technology companies. Today the company has over 300 clients in the North East and across the UK and can boast strategic relationships with world-class partners including Microsoft, HP and Cisco.

Networking Giant Cisco - appoints North East representative

Leading business technology company Knowledge I.T has been appointed as the North East representative of Cisco’s influential Commercial Channel Advisory Board (CCAB).

George Sanger, sales director of Knowledge, has been chosen to join the exclusive panel, which brings together a select group of eight members comprising Commercial and SMB Cisco Channel Partners from throughout the UK.

Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking equipment for the internet, and the appointment allows a North East company to influence policy within a global manufacturer.

The CCAB liaises with Cisco executives and senior management teams to advise and influence the strategic direction of Cisco products, key initiatives, services and solutions for its commercial and Small and Medium Business (SMB) markets. Its key objective is to deliver secure, end-to-end networking technologies that focus on enhancing customer profitability and growth.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to influence Cisco’s future Small and Medium Business (SMB) customer strategy. Not only this but Knowledge can also provide regional input and guidance on how Cisco can improve its delivery to businesses in the North East,” says Sanger.

“We are a long-standing Cisco partner and this influential appointment provides us with the platform to help shape Cisco’s strategy to the benefit of North East companies.”

Mr Sanger has worked for Knowledge for just less than three years overseeing the growing range of networking, internet and telephony services the company provides. This accolade is yet another success for the Washington-based company which recently celebrated a record year of performance with sales revenue rising to £7.1 million, and now on target for £9m in the current financial year.

Established above a hairdresser’s shop in Chester-le-Street in 1981, Knowledge has evolved to become one of the North East’s leading business technology companies. Today the company has over 300 clients in the North East and across the UK and can boast strategic relationships with world-class partners including Microsoft, HP and Cisco.

The CCAB, first implemented in the US and Canada, has since been successfully rolled out worldwide to include the European and Asia Pacific markets. Plans are in place to develop the idea for Japan and additional countries within emerging markets.

The Sage Gateshead chooses Knowledge I.T to deliver its New Information Technology Systems.

Gateshead, UK, 30th September 2004 - Knowledge I.T, one of the leading information technology providers in the North of England announced today that The Sage Gateshead had chosen Knowledge to provide information technology for the spectacular Norman Foster designed building that dominates the Tyneside Skyline.

The Sage Gateshead is a new home for music and musical discovery, aiming to bring about lasting and widespread enrichment of music in the North of England.

Knowledge beat off stiff competition from firms across the UK to design and implement the latest state-of-the-art computer solutions based on Microsoft technologies.

The contract is being hailed as a major coup by head of sales at Knowledge, George Sanger.

"We are a North East based company and are delighted to be involved in this prestigious project. It also demonstrates the strength and breadth of high level IT skills that are available locally."

Knowledge I.T will be working to tight timelines, as nearly all of the staff will move from their temporary home in the old Gateshead town hall to the new building over a single weekend. The move will require all systems to be in place so as not to impact on the already published opening date and performance schedule.

Keith Dobson, Head of ICT at The Sage Gateshead explains,

"Technology is now a fundamental part of every business, so it's absolutely right that The Sage Gateshead should have the best systems available. We chose Knowledge I.T because of their proven track record, project management and they offered best value"

The new systems will provide The Sage Gateshead staff with integrated desktop applications running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and secure Cisco infrastructure. The solution will also cater for their envisaged future expansion.

Syrus Mokhtari, Senior Account Manager at Knowledge I.T said "We spent a lot of time with Keith and his team understanding their exact requirement and look forward to delivering a quality solution that will ultimately benefit the people of the region."
