Company Recognition

We are thankful to our employees, clients, and partners for making us the company that we are. And we are grateful that our performance is backed with the endorsement of corporate certifications and special awards. Here are some of our recent awards and recognitions.

Cisco Authorized Technology Partner (ATP) Designations

NFF is extremely proud to announce achievement of two ATP designations from Cisco within the first half of 2011.  ATP is a “by-invitation-only” program available to selected Cisco Partners who have met a number of stringent requirements.

The first ATP designation NFF achieved is “Data Center Unified Computing System” (UCS-ATP).   In order to do this, NFF produced a compelling business plan and go-to-market strategy, achieved the Advanced Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure Specialization, the Advanced Cisco Data Center Storage Networking Specialization, successfully completed numerous role-based training and certification exams for account and technical teams, set up a UCS lab and offer our customers demo gear, and finally demonstrated mature competencies in server, storage, and virtualization technologies.  All of this hard work showed Cisco we have the business acumen and technical expertise to sell, deploy, and support the Cisco Unified Computing System in the United States.

The second category NFF accomplished is The Cisco TelePresence Video Express Authorized Technology Provider (ATP). We went through a similar process as for UCS.  This program is focused on providing a new way of working, in which everyone everywhere can be more productive through face-to-face collaboration with TelePresence Video solutions. The Express level program goal is to enable partners to market TelePresence video endpoints, targeted infrastructure and differentiate themselves based on their breadth of unique AV integration skills.

Inc 5000 Company

Only the very best are awarded the distinction of being named to the Inc.500|5000, the gold standard of entrepreneurial success. For the fourth year in a row, NFF, Inc. was named one of Inc. Magazine's Fastest Growing Private Companies.

ICIC Inner City 100 Company

The Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) released its 2011 Inner City 100 list and NFF, Inc. is ranked 77th on the list of more than 2,000 fastest growing inner-city companies in America that were evaluated. The Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) defines inner cities as core urban areas with higher unemployment and poverty rates and lower median incomes than their surrounding metropolitan statistical areas. Companies were ranked by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) based on their revenue over the five-year period between 2005 and 2009 (the last year for which complete data was available).  The Inner City 100 Companies are producing jobs in their local communities, competitive advantage for their business partners and profits for their investors. Across all sectors, Inner City 100 firms are more productive than their sector peers throughout the U.S., according to U.S. Census data.  This is the third year in a row NFF has received this award.
