Cisco opens up Cisco Observability Platform to build custom new uses cases, introduces wave of innovative partner modules at Cisco Partner Summit 2023.

Cisco Partner Summit 2023 marks a significant moment—and the ideal stage for us to proudly unveil the victors of Cisco's sixth annual global Partner Innovation Challenge. It's an opportunity to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the remarkable innovation flowing from the exceptional talent within our partner community.

In just a few days, we will all be together for Cisco Partner Summit 2023, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, November 6-9, 2023. I am incredibly excited about this year's theme of Greater Together, the content we have prepared, and the opportunity to connect with many of you in person again. Today, I will give you a preview of what you can expect for content and updates related to Hybrid Work and Cisco's focus on Re-Imagining Workspaces.

I hope you are as excited as I am about the innovation taking place. An even more powerful and comprehensive technology platform at the core of our business fuels our channel strategy and provides partners with differentiated collaboration experiences to deliver to customers.

The Americas Partner Organization (APO) at Cisco is where we put the “Cisco is partner-led” messaging into action, helping our America’s-based partners succeed by helping them deliver truly exceptional outcomes for our mutual customers.

Cisco has made sustainability a priority for many years, and we recently launched Cisco’s next generation environmental sustainability strategy. As a part of that, we have also set a goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our value chain by 2040.

The popularity of partner managed services is higher than ever. Recent research from Canalys, a leading global market research and analysis firm specializing in the technology industry, makes this clear. Check out their findings.

In case you missed Partner Summit last week, we just want to reiterate: your customers heavily prefer to consume technology as managed outcomes! Our strategy for success, guiding our evolution in Partner Managed Services, is centered on our 3 Ps: Platform, Preference, and Performance.

Cisco’s continued innovations in Secure Connectivity, Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Zero Trust, and Firewall help Cisco partners position and win effectively with our platform solution.

Cisco has a long history with our partner-led strategy. We continue investing in global partner channels to provide outcomes consistent with customer needs to become entirely digitized in the future.

Learn about the innovations Cisco is making to help our partners empower enterprises to be more secure and resilient in the face of the unexpected.

On Day one of our Partner Summit 2022, we discussed Cisco products and solutions that are designed for Security Resilience. We also announced six new lightweight and customer-relevant Solution Specializations.
