And the winners are…
Our global partner summit is a point in the year that I always look forward to. An opportunity not only to get together (albeit in a hybrid way this year), but to share our vision and future strategy with our partners. It’s an opportunity to share what’s new, but also celebrate our shared successes from the last year – and there were many for our partner community in the UK & Ireland. That’s not to say that there haven’t been challenges. And that’s what makes me so very proud of those we work with daily, and those who are instrumental in helping the UK and Ireland benefit from leading digital technologies. Our partners truly make things happen. 95% of our business in EMEAR is through our partners. In the UK, we work with over 4,000 IT organisations who sell and implement Cisco technology.
Every year during Partner Summit we mark the occasion with annual partner awards, they come in multiple ways, from Global and Regional awards, to those awarded in country (you can find a full list here).
