Cisco Partner Summit, Las Vegas, Nevada, November 5 - With IT driving business transformation, leaders feel boardroom pressure to deliver results while coping with skills gaps and struggling with increased complexity. To address this, today at Cisco Partner Summit, Cisco CX announced new developments to a lifecycle selling approach that accelerate customer success while supporting growth for its partners.
Selling across the lifecycle is the largest opportunity for our partners to position customers for a successful digital transformation. Partners are integral to delivering on the Cisco Customer Experience vision, which is why we have designed our entire CX portfolio with partners in mind, said Maria Martinez, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience Officer. Cisco's unique CX approach, insights, and digital capabilities can help partners modernize and monetize their services to drive business transformation.
Cisco's annual Partner Summit attendees will get an update from one year ago when Martinez first unveiled the Cisco Customer Experience strategy. Since then, Cisco focused on investing and developing partners' lifecycle services. The biggest developments include hiring new CX roles that help drive more business to partners, delivering specialization criteria and certification curriculum, and a refreshed SuccessHub for partners with lifecycle content and role-based training.
While growing partners' lifecycle services to accelerate customer success, Cisco is also announcing services to grow partners' profitability. Cisco's new offers were all designed with partners in mind and enable partners to book bigger deals, expand their offerings, and scale digitally - all to deliver a superior customer experience.
