CISCO PARTNER ENGAGEMENT

Webex Suite Product Owner

This past week marked start of our Partner Engagement strategy for hashtag#WebexforGovernment.

Alan Gardner and Kyle Thorne from Current Technologies Computer Learning Centers delivered a 5 day Webex Calling for Government course for our Partner post-sales engineers with specific focus on administering, operating, and troubleshooting in FedRAMP-authorized Government environments. We are so thrilled and thankful to our partners (in alphabetical order): AT&T, BlueAlly, CDW, Colossal, LLC, Iron Bow Technologies, Presidio, and Red River who invested their time to join us at our Cisco office in Fulton, MD.

We were delighted to have a two hour masterclass session presented by Hussain Shoaib A. on Enabling CUBE in Webex for Government deployments - much more deeper and detailed in comparison to the one sessions given during Cisco Live and Webex One.

A big thank you to my amazing Cisco colleagues who were in person for this training as well as all the planning sessions leading up to this event. Keith Hughes, Dolan Spitler, Justin Jordan, Bryan Waldmann, Seble Mengesha, Jeremy MacDonald, Jay Rivera, Susan Parrish, Dan Gallant, Anne Quinn.

In less than a month, during the week of April 13th, we will be meeting our Collaboration Sales Engineers and Partner Field Sellers to sharpen their technical expertise and solution-selling skills at our Partner VT in Chicago. For the first time, we will deliver a Government-specific track in addition to our Webex Suite, Device, and AI tracks. For details and registration, go to https://lnkd.in/gn7riVPb. I hope to see many of our partners there in person!

Lastly, always a pleasure to catch up with my friend and colleague Alec Walker in person while in town, looking forward to building hybrid solutions in FedRAMP for our customers.
