We're having fun now! For weeks leading up to the Cisco Spark launch on January 24, we said we'd leave our mark on the industry. In my last blog, I declared, "The Future Is Now." As you know, we worked toward that pivotal moment for years. Leave our mark we did,andit is thrilling to feel the momentum and see the demand for Cisco Spark build each day.
The response from analysts, press, customers and partners has been nothing short of amazing. There's tremendous enthusiasm-not just for the Cisco Spark Board, but for the way we've revolutionized the meeting experience, and differentiated Cisco collaboration from the competition. There's also a lot of excitement from partners about how easily the Cisco Spark Board and Spark Room Systems can provide better video conferencing for everyone, in every meeting room, as a service. It's yet another route to drive recurring revenue with new and existing customers. Selling Spark Board is a way to quickly land new business that you can later expand to other Cisco Spark services through the adoption process.
Spreading the news
We're continuing to spread the word and the excitement beyond the main and regional launch events to tens of thousands of customers and partners around the world.
Customers are so excited and clearly see the value. You, our partners, have definitely realized that "The Future is Now." You have been quickly ordering and exploring the Cisco Spark Board internally so you can use it, know it, and sell it successfully. We're hitting full-speed in our collective journey to the cloud with Cisco Spark. It's fun, it's profitable, and we'll only continue to accelerate, together!
