At Cisco Partner Summit, we celebrate our incredible partners and the amazing things they make possible. I’m thrilled to recognize 21 of our top-performing global partners and their respective achievements in 2022.
There’s simply nothing better than gathering together with a group of people to engage in conversation, share perspectives, and celebrate. This year Partner Summit will take place November 1-3 and I cannot wait for you to see what we have planned for you.
There is strength in numbers. Cisco is an active member of the Alliance for Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement and the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, non-profit organizations devoted to global Intellectual Property protection and combating product counterfeiting and piracy.
Today we are thrilled to announce the Cisco 2022 sustainability partner challenge winners for Asia Pacific, Japan, China (APJC), Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), Canada and Latin America (AMER Int’l).
Cisco believes equally in sustained support over time to help other people beyond moments of crisis. The Talent Bridge program addresses the tech skills gap, connecting Cisco and partner employers to qualified candidates.
Every year in May, CRN releases their highly-anticipated Women of the Channel List. This year’s list is not only the largest yet, but the number of Cisco leaders who were named to CRN’s 2022 Women of the Channel list is the most ever at 38!
What will make this industry thrive, grow, evolve and stay relevant is our ability to attract and nurture a community that is truly as diverse as the markets, customers and technologies we represent. I’m referring to our collective diversity.
We’re helping our partners further deliver on their commitment to customers by announcing that Cisco ThousandEyes is moving to a full channel sales model. I’m thrilled about this and the work our teams are doing to support partners' needs in adding this capability to their Cisco portfolio.
I was about to hit “Buy” for a name brand microphone when I noticed something was a bit off. Looking more closely, I realized this was not the true brand I thought it was and that it was being sold by a suspicious third party. My experience was trivial compared to what can happen to Cisco’s partners with gray market and counterfeit products which account for over $1 Billion in displaced sales annually.
