A Guide for all Life’s Adventures

In the late 1800’s, Jean Estéril Charlet, used the technique to abseil or rappel down Petit Dru in France. The term rappel means to “bring back to oneself”. The thrill, endorphins, adrenaline, each play a role in helping those bon viveurs feel alive. ?

“Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”

John Muir, Naturalist and author

If you’ve ever gone on a wilderness adventure, you’ll know in today’s world these types of activities require a harness, rope, and, unless you are a pro, a good guide. Someone who will help you go through the coming miles unscathed. They are your proverbial tether and harness to that keeps you on solid ground whether you are walking on a paved path or hanging off the edge of a 100-foot precipice.

At Cisco, managed service provider partners, can have a guide. Rather than outdoor adventuring, these partners harness one of the highest-growing buying trends in IT, Managed Services, with the help of Cisco.

Why Managed?

The bundling of hardware and software with managed services represents the largest route to market for nearly all product categories and geographies. Customers are turning to partners to help them through evolving technology, staying on-top-of security threats, or need to optimize resources. The faster technology evolves and the more sophisticated it becomes the more a customer needs help to realize the business outcomes needed from the technology. We see the future is managed.

Why Should Partners Go Managed with Cisco?

There are six areas where managed services partners will benefit the most.

1.?????Opportunity – As I said above, with as many customers looking for IT solutions outside of their internal IT structures or possibly don’t have in-house IT support, they will be looking for someone to help them scale.

2.?????Differentiation – Cisco’s industry-leading portfolio brings a unique set of innovative solutions that put our MSP partners in the catbird seat during competitive situations.

3.?????Relevance – Because Cisco’s product portfolio is fully integrated, partners can build out cross-architectural offers that fit the needs of their customers and helps the partner win more business.

4.?????Breadth of Portfolio – Remember that fully integrated product suite? MSP partners can build robust offers with one vendor making for a simpler operational experience for our partners and a more streamlined user experience for their customers.

5.?????Extensibility – Cisco enables MSP partners to connect Cisco solutions with management systems, billing tools, and third-party applications driving further operational simplicity and the ability to customize solutions more easily for their customers.

6.?????Partner Success – Last but not in the slightest least. Cisco has a tailored approach to support partners with product readiness, service creation and selling, all while delivering partner profitability that rewards MSP partners for the unique business they bring.

The hunt for a good guide

We know a MSP partner’s hunt for a good guide isn’t going to go away. In fact, partners rated offering or expanding managed services as their #1 transformational goal in 2023.??There is no time to waste. If you are not currently exploring becoming a Cisco Managed Service provider, now it the time.
