Choosing a Cisco partner with the expertise you need
Choosing the right partner is crucial to ensuring you achieve the business results you desire. The Cisco partner ecosystem includes a range of partners with unique capabilities to support all of your business needs. We understand that not all customers are looking for the same level of support or expertise. That’s why the Cisco partner program is designed to give you the choice when it comes to choosing the right partner(s).
Achieve business results
In my previous one Blog, I’ve outlined the different roles Cisco partners most commonly play with customers and which role best fits the experiences and outcomes you expect. A partner’s role is complemented by the skills they possess to address your business challenges. Some partners have extensive experience across many solutions, while others focus on being the best in a very specific solution or technology domain. Cisco offers a range of specializations that validate our partners’ proven knowledge and experience in areas such as business practices, customer solutions and product families.
For example, are you looking for a partner that can drive the use of application and infrastructure investments to deliver business results? Then you would like to work with one of our partners who specializes in customer experiences. These partners help you get the most value from your technology investments by providing ongoing management, support, and data-driven insights.
Are your needs more functional, such as implementing a solution that helps you monitor the health and performance of your digital environment? Then you should choose a partner with the Full-Stack Observability (FSO) specialization.
Additionally, if you need to ensure you have security controls in place across your entire wide area network or multi-cloud with monitoring and visibility capabilities, you need a partner with expertise in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Therefore, choose one of our partners from the SASE specialization.
Trust through high standards
Cisco’s partner program has always been based on the value our partners bring to customers. Achieving a Cisco specialization means a partner has met rigorous requirements and demonstrated extensive expertise in a specific area of ​​focus. And the standards are the same everywhere in the world. A partner specializing in hybrid cloud computing in France meets exactly the same requirements as a partner specializing in hybrid cloud computing in Australia, Mexico or South Africa.
Our partners are the best in the industry because we set the bar high for our program standards. We don’t give away our specializations – our partners earn them.
