#CiscoChat: Cisco Partners win with DevNet

I like Cisco Chats because they give us an opportunity to connect with our global Developer Community. It’s a time for Cisco programmability experts to share helpful information that can guide you in your new or ongoing projects.

Our next #DevNet #CiscoChat is about Partner success!

You should know that we do a lot of research and homework before we go live. So, for this #CiscoChat about how Partners are winning with DevNet, I turned to my mentor Chris Oggerino, who made sure I did my homework before I wrote this blog post.

Here’s what I learned from Chris.

Differentiate with DevNet

According to IDC, 19% of Partners globally will differentiate through software development delivery of intellectual property.

Our data says that only 6% of Cisco Partners are currently doing this. We see this as an opportunity for a large number of Partners to do some coding, that will help develop new offers for the market.

This is where you, the reader, get to ask yourself:

“What makes our organization special?”
“How can we put that into code?”
“How can we take that knowledge and code, and use it to customize Cisco platforms for Customers?”

Succeed with DevNet

Chat with DevNet

To quote our friend Mo Abdel: #WeLoveOurPartners!

We’ve noticed that Cisco Partners who do custom development, or other customization of the overall solutions, are the ones with the bigger margins and more deals closed.

A Partner who consistently leads the way innovating with Cisco APIs is Local Measure.
