Cisco Systems’ recently simplified partner program will now recognise and reward the four different roles that partners want to play with customers, according to the company.
The tech giant in October said that it would be making the biggest changes to its partner program structure in more than a decade. The new structure, said Cisco, would help partners better target life-cycle and everything-as-a-Service opportunities.
Cisco at the time said it would be dropping the number of partner programs from upward of 12 disparate programs to one unified program centred on the four primary partner roles.
Cisco Wednesday revealed the program requirements and deadlines for the Integrator and Provider partner types, as well as updates on the coming Developer and Advisor roles.

Cisco ‘Founding Father’ Rick Justice Remembered For Building Customer-Focused Culture, Legacy Of Trust
‘He made us all better people,’ former Cisco CEO John Chambers tells CRN about his longtime business partner and best friend, Rick Justice, who passed away following his battle with cancer. By Gina Narcisi February 01, 2021, 06:56 PM EST
Rick Justice, a longtime member of Cisco’s executive leadership team, has passed away following a 17-year battle with prostate cancer.
Justice started his career at Cisco in 1996 and rose to the rank of executive vice president of worldwide operations. He stepped down from his day-to-day responsibilities in 2009 due to his ongoing cancer battle, but stayed on as part-time advisor to then Cisco chairman and CEO John Chambers until he retired in 2013, marking a more than 16-year tenure with the San Jose, Calif.-based tech giant.
