THE SIX PILLARS

Cisco’s Channel Partner Programme is one of the most effective and comprehensive of all vendor programmes.

The cost and complexity of planning and managing the requirements in this area will not diminish in the foreseeable future and Partners must ensure both that decisions taken to move up the certification stack & that the manner in which such projects are undertaken is on the basis of best available information.

Channel Intellect uses its experience in this area to advise Partners at all levels (Select/Premier/Silver/Gold/MSCP) about current & future Cisco certification plans, including Cisco’s recent drive to base the CPP more formally around Cisco key architectures – collaboration, virtualisation & borderless networks.

Additionally, the business is well placed to work with Partners on the detailed requirements of Cisco Silver & Gold Audits having advised & guided a number of Partners who have successfully completed the audit.

Channel Intellect works with Partners to create an all-embracing training plan which wraps up individual accreditation (which includes evidence of career progression and development being carried out in a structured and orderly fashion) into the corporate requirements incumbent around Cisco certification - particularly into the specialisation technology areas both current and planned.  The compilation and maintenance of this focussed plan allows for enhanced decision making and flexibility when assessing both current and future direction and technology adoption for the business.
