NTS achieved the Cisco SMB specialization 2007/08, after the recent changes in the Cisco Systems policy Cisco SMB select partners were required to renew their accreditations, the SMB Select accreditation was changed into a Partner Specialization.

Industry analysts agree that today's small and medium-sized business (SMB) partners face a changing competitive landscape. Customers expect their SMB partners to stay current on technology in their fast-moving market.
