From the Paper:

"The Cisco educational and certification process is well known in the Informational Technology (IT) sector. The educational portion of the process has the reputation of being very tough to master and gain certification. One article espoused the fact that while there is no universal agreement on which certifications were most desirable, that "based on responses from 336 of the 470 contractors...the top two certifications were Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert" (Alexander, 1999, pg 72). Since that time the two companies have continued to evolve and improve their certification processes and are still considered two of the toughest certifications to obtain. At that time "83% of the contractors believed certifications either were 'very important' or 'somewhat important' to their prospects for career advancement" (Alexander, pg. 72)."
