Cisco is on the hunt for a network of certified partners that can help customers snuggle up to IoT.
Cisco is building a global force of partners that have gone through its IoT training and specialisation programmes.
The vendor wants resellers, ISVs, machine builders and service providers signed up to its IoT programme so that partners with certifications have the highest visibility across its own sales teams as well as with customers.
Senior vice president and general manager, IoT at Cisco Liz Centoni said that the IoT conversation was all about business outcomes.
“It starts with secure connectivity as the foundation of every IoT deployment. By providing scale, flexibility and security, we’re turning the network into a secret weapon for our IoT customers”, she said.
As well as the IoT channel programmes the firm is adding developer tools to its DevNet programme to ensure that ISVs can get access to a range of materials that should make producing a solution easier.
“With a new DevNet IoT developer centre, we’re empowering thousands of partners and developers around the world to build upon our IoT platform”, added Centoni.
