Cisco has announced the launch of the Cisco 360 Partner Programme after fifteen months of co-design with partners. Cisco's success is built on close collaboration with its partners to meet customer needs in the fast-changing AI world. Now, Cisco is boosting how it supports partners, while making it easier for them to help customers. The new programme, built for developers, consultants, managed services providers, resellers and other partner business models, better equips Cisco partners to deliver customer outcomes in the areas of AI-ready data centers, future-proofed workplaces and digital resilience.
With the new Cisco Partner Locator tool, customers can now search for the right partner across key Cisco portfolios like Security, Networking, Collaboration, Services, Splunk and Cloud and AI Infrastructure.
"With our partners, we've strengthened what is already a world-class ecosystem to deliver even greater value and help our mutual customers connect, protect and thrive," said Tim Coogan, Senior VP, Global Partner Sales, Cisco.
"The Cisco 360 Partner Programme helps us differentiate based on our expertise. We appreciate that we're measured on the value we bring; that only benefits our mutual customers," said Nicko Roussos, Senior VP, Cisco Strategy & Transformation, TD Synnex.
Cisco's recent AI Readiness Index shows that being AI ready is a competitive advantage for companies. Meeting these needs relies on expert partners collaborating to provide essential infrastructure, services and AI-native capabilities. The Cisco 360 Partner Programme recognises partner expertise and rewards value creation across the customer lifecycle, empowering partners to provide secure, agile solutions that support customers through transformation.
