Cisco's OTS program provides system integrators with resources, expertise and tools for industrial environments.
As Cisco's OTS in Australia, Madison can offer its customers the Cisco IoT portfolio, competitive pricing as well as onboarding and implementation support.
The Brisbane-headquartered distributor can also access pre- and post-sales support, as well as insights into Cisco product updates, roadmaps and end-of-life announcements.
"I'm excited that the work we’ve done with Cisco in the region, has been recognised with our appointment as Cisco's exclusive OT Supplier in Australia," said Paul Calabro, CEO of Madison.
"This unique partnership with Cisco enables us to offer our customers advanced IIoT and Meraki IoT products, competitive pricing, and expert OT support."
"More than just product access; it's about shaping the future of industrial connectivity, fostering IT/OT convergence, and fast-tracking digital transitions in critical operational environments."
"Our commitment is to create lasting value and efficiency in these environments, ensuring our clients and our system integrator customers stay at the forefront of innovation, and the OTS program enables that.”
Madison said the OTS designation recognises the company's three-decade legacy of excellence and innovation in the OT space.
“The alignment between Cisco and Madison Technologies reflects a shared vision for the future of industrial operations. Our collaboration is built on a foundation of mutual expertise and a commitment to excellence," said Daniel Stuckey, Cisco program manager.
"Together, we are setting a new standard for operational technology supply in Australia, ensuring system integrators have the support and resources they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving industrial landscape."
"This agreement is not just about supplying products; it's about building a community of innovation that drives real change in the industry.”
