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?"

This catalog of solutions is designed for:

• Executives and Line of Business Owners, who are looking for tried and tested solutions, that can solve business problems and increase revenue.
• Partners who are ready to develop solutions. Get inspired by what your peers are doing!
• Partners who are ready to resell great solutions. Many of these solutions are already available on Cisco's price list, with built-in margin, and can enhance your offer over simply reselling Cisco packaged products and solutions.

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.
