Partners are focused on delivering the best customerandworkforce experiences using technology, and more often than not, this digitization is enabled by software. Digital transformation creates an unbelievable opportunity for Cisco partners to move from selling boxes to selling software solutions to address customers' evolving needs.

We are seeing partners mobilize to capture the software opportunity, and there are four main ways they can increase revenue with Cisco Software and build their software practices:

  • Sell software as a solution
  • Sell software with an understanding of customers consumption needs
  • Sell Lifecycle Advisory Services
  • Sell Advanced Software Integration and Development Services

A roles-based framework within the Cisco Partner Ecosystem

In May, the Global Partner Program launched two new software business roles within our existing Partner Ecosystem: Lifecycle Advisor and Integrator. These new roles consist of eligibility requirements as well as value exchanges and a performance-based reward structure to help partners grow and monetize their software business with Cisco. The initial versions of the roles are focused on delivering software, and are offered by invitation only to new and existing partners.

Lifecycle Advisorsdeliver services across the land, adopt, expand, and renew stages in the IT investment process and help customers get the full value of their investments in Cisco's solutions.

Integratorsare experts in software integration and development, programming, API management and DevOps which benefit customers through advanced integration and optimization of enterprise applications running on Cisco infrastructure.

Both roles provide additional opportunities for partners to drive profitability by creating their own high-value, high-margin services. The role design incorporates programmatic recognition and differentiation for partners, and uses a flexible approach so partners can build capabilities or partner across the Ecosystem. There is no requirement to invest or gain capabilities, but current and future partners will be encouraged to participate to differentiate themselves in the market.
