HERNDON, VA, March 10, 2010 – Digicon Corporation, an Information Technology (IT) service provider, is proud to announce the recertification of their Cisco Gold Partnership for the United States. A Gold Partner since 2002, Digicon maintains a strong relationship with Cisco in providing secure IT solutions to Federal, State, and local Governments as well as commercial enterprise and higher education clients.

Digicon offers complete Lifecycle Services:  Preparation, Planning, Design, and Implementation of innovative solutions.  With a US-based 24/7/365 secure Network Operations Security Center (NOSC), service level management, security management, and service desk requirements are exceeded for customers.
