Re: Benefits of choosing a Cisco gold partner company.

I'd really go for pricing only. Worked for a big one. Most of the gold
partner folks doing the work are kids off the street who have no freaking
idea what they are doing. The CCIEs are more often than not excell
spreadsheet engineers and only god knows how they passed their IEs. :D
Personally, I'd go with a smaller company, or target a partner with an
employee you know is great, and ensure he works on your project. CDW is a
gold parnter, you can buy equip from them, and skip the prof services. Buy
CDW and hire Scott Morris instead. :D
