Make the most of every action you take for your customers
Welcome to Cisco Partner 360! This revamped partner program offers you incredible opportunities to better serve your customers and grow your business. Only by being part of this program can you provide your customers with Cisco’s best-in-class solutions. Within the program, you’ll find extensive training, financial incentives, and access to the latest technologies, giving you a competitive edge.
Compared to the current Cisco Partner Program, which will remain available until February 2026, Cisco Partner 360 offers a more streamlined and integrated approach. The new program utilizes simplified processes and new ways to plan and track performance, helping you work more efficiently and better support your customers. With Cisco Partner 360, you’re ready to tackle future challenges and help your customers achieve their goals.
Phase-in to the new program
The transition from the Cisco Partner Program to Cisco Partner 360 marks a significant evolution in how Cisco collaborates with you as a partner and us as a distributor. The new Cisco 360 Partner Program will be rolled out in phases per solution, such as the Security Architecture Specialization, which ended on January 25, 2025. Other solutions, like network management and cloud solutions, will follow throughout 2025 and 2026. This phased rollout ensures that you have enough time to adjust to the new program requirements and benefits—if you’re a new partner, this doesn’t apply to you, and you can register directly for Cisco Partner 360.
The current Cisco Partner Program works based on certifications, requiring you to complete specific training and exams to reach certain levels. The new program introduces a points-based system, where you earn points by completing various activities and achievements. This includes things like earning certifications, completing training, and meeting sales goals. This new system offers more flexibility and rewards you for more than just acquiring knowledge.

A new way of performing

- Foundational: This measures the maturity of your core practices, such as lifecycle and managed services. It’s about the foundation your business is built on and how well you’ve developed it.
- Capabilities: This assesses your technical skills, training, and resources aligned with each portfolio. It shows how well-equipped you are to implement and support Cisco technologies.
- Performance: This tracks your success in acquiring, retaining, expanding, and growing customer relationships. It measures how effective you are at delivering value to your customers.
- Engagement: This evaluates your involvement throughout the entire customer journey and your collaboration within the partner ecosystem.
