"Consultants serving the enterprise and service provider markets are important influencers on those making key buying decisions," said David Yanish, Senior Manager of Partner Programs for ADC. "Although consultants do not purchase or resell ADC products and services, competition in the network infrastructure industry is intense and they have significant influence on those markets that are critical to our company's business model. Given the sway of their expertise and opinions about trends and technology, we see the need for strengthening our relationships with professional architects, consultants, engineers and, in turn, the key constituencies that they serve." Major elements of ADC's PACE Program serving the consultant community will include regular technology education forums, networking events, and premier support availability - all delivered in an informative and educational environment. The goal of the PACE Program is to create a network of consultants that will serve as a resource to help participants stay abreast of cutting-edge technology and to learn from industry-leading vendors and peers that are driving innovation in the enterprise and service provider markets. "Our relationship with professional architects, consultants, and engineers is not a one-way street Noun 1. one-way street - unilateral interaction; "cooperation cannot be a one-way street" unilateralism - the doctrine that nations should conduct their foreign affairs individualistically without the advice or involvement of other nations 2. for the company," added Yanish.
