Cisco Receives AT&T 2009 Supplier Award

AT&T announced the 2009 AT&T Supplier Award winners, who are being recognized for their outstanding performance and service to AT&T affiliates during the past year.  Cisco is honored to be one of six suppliers that were recognized. 

The AT&T Supplier Award program annually honors suppliers who provide products or services that support AT&T operations, and selects them across a broad scope of criteria. Supplier contributions include:

• diversity results
• creative cost management solutions
• teamwork
• customer service
• product and service performance
• sustainability

Providing Customer Value
“AT&T’s Supplier Award program acknowledges the contribution of its strategic suppliers by highlighting those who have added significant value to AT&T, and who have far exceeded expectations in supplier relations,” said Tim Harden, president of AT&T Supply Chain and Fleet Operations. “These suppliers play a vital role in helping AT&T deliver the services, value, and innovation necessary to serve our residential and business customers, and to maintain our company’s leadership position in today’s competitive and dynamic global marketplace.”

Beyond Expectations
This year, AT&T recognized six suppliers that exceeded expectations in providing better products, superior services, enhanced cost structures, or best-in-class approaches that contributed to the company’s success last year.

AT&T uses more than 5,000 companies as major suppliers for materials and services. As part of the annual program, the company took out a half-page ad in The Wall Street Journal on May 13, 2009 to publicly thank the selected companies.
