Cisco has been showing off a new pack of “lighter-weight specialisations” designed to match customers’ changing buying habits.
The networking king claims the new products will enhance partners’ ability to deliver more comprehensive solutions and help its channel to battle the ongoing backlog of business.
Cisco said that it began rolling out the new solution specialisations in September and noted that cross-architectural solutions were in high demand, particularly among cross architects.
The three new solution specialisations unveiled at Partner Summit 2022 include:
Hybrid Cloud Computing – A specialisation that showcases partners providing secure hybrid cloud computing experiences at home, in the office or anywhere.
Hybrid Cloud Networking – This specialisation, meanwhile, recognises partners connecting, securing and managing customers’ data, workloads and applications across datacentres, edge and multiple clouds.
Hybrid Cloud Software – This specialisation highlights expertise in unifying IT operations with secure, hybrid cloud management software.
Partners can use the new solution specialisations toward their progress to Gold, a level that formerly required partners to have three Architecture specialisations plus the Cisco Customer Experience specialisation to achieve Gold.
