As part of Cisco's commitment to deliver more comprehensive, targeted solutions to small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers, Cisco is integrating the Linksys Partner Connection program with the Cisco Channel Partner Program on September 16, 2008. At this time the Linksys Partner Connection Program will be retired.
With a unified partner program, Linksys and Cisco partners will gain the following benefits:
Access to a broader portfolio of Cisco SMB product options
More resources to deliver outstanding solutions to their SMB customers.
Expanded tools and promotion offerings will strengthen the ability for Linksys partners to sell and support both Linksys Business Series and Cisco SMB products in this important customer segment.
To take advantage of these benefits, however, Linksys partners must become Cisco Registered Partners.
Who should attend: Sales and Pre-Sales Professionals
