Cisco Expands Partner Opportunity with New Cisco 360 Program Updates, High Yield Customer Experience Offerings, and AI-Ready Innovations

Tim Coogan, SVP, Global Partner Sales, Cisco

“Our partners are where Cisco meets the customer, and the AI era is asking more of all of us. Customers need partners with the agility to move first and fast. By combining the strength of the Cisco 360 Partner Program with Cisco IQ and Cisco Cloud Control, we're giving every type of partner new ways to deliver that and be rewarded for it, from the advisor who shapes a decision to the partner who delivers and supports it.”

Liz Centoni, EVP and Chief Customer Experience Officer, Cisco

“For too long, partners walked into customer conversations without the same view Cisco had. That changes today. With Cisco IQ Partner Support Standard, partners get that same intelligence under their own brand, delivered through their own experts. It's their name. Their customer relationship. Their services practice. Cisco IQ is the engine. Partners are the business.”

Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco

“The future of infrastructure operations is agentic, and it requires a platform that combines shared context, purpose-built models, and clear guardrails. Cisco Cloud Control is that platform. With the new Model Foundry, we're advancing the state of the art in AgenticOps further. Enabling partners to fine-tune and customize Cisco's models for their customers' environments will make them integral to how their customers connect, protect, and run their infrastructure.”

Filipe Gomes Leonardo, Associate Partner - Cyber and Telecom Networks, Deloitte

“Ecosystem Deal Registration is an important step forward in recognizing the value partners like Deloitte create throughout the customer lifecycle, from shaping opportunities and defining solutions to helping customers realize value. By making these contributions more visible, Cisco is creating stronger foundations for collaboration and shared growth.”

Kevin Corace, Senior Vice President, Software and Services Lifecycle, Presidio

“We are excited about Cisco's continued innovation and look forward to Cisco Partner Summit. With expanded partner access to Cisco IQ, we can build lifecycle integrations and professional services that turn reactive analysis into proactive insight. Together, we help clients manage risk, plan upgrades and get more value from every dollar they spend.”

Dilip Kumar, President and Global Head Infrastructure Solutions, NTT DATA, Inc.

“As our enterprise customers scale AI workloads and high-density wireless environments, the network must evolve from simple connectivity into an active, self-defending platform. Cisco's innovations embed industry-leading security and continuous visibility directly into the physical infrastructure our customers need. Combined with NTT DATA's Agentic Operations, this creates an intelligent operating environment that can sense, predict and act, proactively addressing experience degradation and securing mission-critical operations before disruption occurs.”
