We are starting a new broadcast series to keep you informed about the Cisco Partner program. It's called “Future Ready – Programs and Profitability," and the first episode is Wednesday, April 14.

Because of the mutual success between partners and customers, we are proud to announce that Cisco has won CRN’s Five-Star Award for 10 years in a row!

We just launched a new, intuitive deal registration platform that provides speed without compromise. It saves time during registration and approvals by using a guided experience.

Marc Surplus unboxes the new Cisco Partner Program and shows you how we're bringing out siloed programs together into a single, cohesive framework structured around the roles you play with your customers, as opposed to how you transact with Cisco.

Today, we are launching the DevNet Specialization designed for partners with a robust software development practice. It validates and highlights their ability to automate solutions and develop applications on top of Cisco platforms.

I hope you’re ready for some good news. CRN published their annual Partner Program guide this week. Thanks to you, this is the ninth straight year we have won one of their prestigious Five Star awards. I’m proud to say, for the first time ever, we won three awards.

In November 2019, we announced Cisco’s Perform Plus rebate program for partners, and I’m happy to say the program is now live globally.
