Fred-Great points, you are echoing a lot of what I heard in New Orleans and just like I committed to them, I will commit to you, we will get better. My initial thought is, similar to how allows me to easily see a variety of Twitter feeds as well as Facebook in a single view. We need to make communications from Cisco easier for our partners to follow.Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming.”

I would offer that the problem isn’t simply that of too much email, but rather that of too many differing tools and channels via which information is distributed. Managing all of these news sources each with their different access or content distribution methods is daunting. And if one does not invest significant effort into constantly managing these they run the risk of missing something critical. Two examples of this have been posted as comments to this entry before my own. Other off the top of my head: this blog, national and regional channels team distribution lists, CPI newsletters, NetPro, Support Wiki, Partner Central, Cisco Communities, CCO Subscription Center, The Vibe, WebEx Portal, WebEx Connect Spaces…Given all these channels, it is very common for a colleague to know about something I do not, or to receive the same information many times. Though I wouldn’t suggest that a single tool can suffice for all needs, there definitely is a lot of room to streamline these efforts.

We created a collaborative Partner ‘community’ which has discussion threads that reach over 1,000 views. This seems like it is addressing the communications needed between thousands of Partners and our experts (TME, PM, SE, Escalation Engineers, marketing…etc). We have application notes posted there which cover the whole portfolio and all you need to do is come and ask us a question and we will help you.Try it out… http://www.cisco.com/go/smallbizsupport.

For Channel Partner Program updates, we have set up an announcement page which is RSS Feed enabled. In this way, partners have one location to go to where they can view up-to-date news about the program when they need/want to do so. Visit http://www.cisco.com/go/announcements.
