Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Alisdair McKeand of CAE Technology Services, a Cisco Gold Partner in London, UK. I’m sharing our conversation as it illustrates the power of Cisco APIs and one of the methodologies – called JumpStart - that we use to assist resellers in developing new platform-enabled software to expand their market reach, implementing a successful go to market plan and building a sales pipeline.

That's what our STANLEY Healthcare partner asked themselves while building a Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) platform with Cisco's Wi-Fi-based solution.

Through this training, partners will discover a robust portfolio of resources to help them build new capabilities, deliver more customer value, and profit in today’s markets. […]

Today’s customer priorities are evolving with a heightened focus on solutions that deliver result-based outcomes with predefined or expected standards. This is one of the reasons customers are going with full-stack solutions.

Cisco and our partners have had considerable success selling our portfolio and services to IT organizations. But as customers navigate the current digital transformation trend, they are also evolving how they make IT and technology purchase decisions and how they deliver new experiences to their target markets.

To help partners create new sources of value and enable expanded growth, while helping ensure that customers have an optimal experience, Cisco offers the CX Success Portfolio. The Cisco CX Success Portfolio consists of three fundamental elements:

At its core, Cisco’s CX strategy is about helping customers realize the value of their technology solutions quickly and completely.

Digital transformation is front and center and organizations should use this time to accelerate their transition. Cisco, as a company, and my team in the Global Partner Transformation (GPT) organization are here to help you, our valued partners.
