Cisco has announced key elements to the Cisco 360 Partner
Program launching January 25, 2026, co-designed with partners to help accelerate their profitability and deliver greater customer value.
With partners expecting AI to drive the majority of their revenue within the next five years, the enhanced program incentivises their efforts to help organisations harness this opportunity amid infrastructure constraints, data complexity and skills gaps.
The programme strengthens collaboration across the global partner ecosystem and allows partners to unlock the full power of the Cisco portfolio to deliver the AI-ready data centres, futureproofed workplaces, and digital resilience their customers need to thrive in the AI era.
“ This programme is critical to our mutual success with partners. The Cisco 360 Partner Program serves the agile partner ecosystem that reacts and adapts quickly, innovates continuously, and scales efficiently through platform and ecosystem effects,” said Tim Coogan, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales at Cisco.
