Cisco Collaboration SaaS Authorisation
The goal of the Cisco Collaboration SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) Authorization Program is to build programs with prescribed requirements for validation and identification of our Cisco channel partners and to develop the global market opportunity for advanced and emerging technology solutions through qualified Cisco channel partners.
Collaboration SaaS Authorisation validates that Cisco partners have a good understanding of the most recent Cisco Webex solutions. Partners holding this authorisation will be able to design, quote, deploy and support the right Webex meeting solution for any customer.
The Collaboration SaaS Authorisation Program trains partners to gain the foundational knowledge of Cisco Collaboration SaaS solutions to effectively sell these cloud-based services. The program ensures partners have the right skills and expertise to sell Collaboration SaaS solutions to customers. In addition, it supports partners in building recurring revenue streams for their business and adding their own valuable services to ensure high levels of customer adoption of WebEx solutions. Partners with this authorisation will benefit by:
- Increasing revenue streams and their continual value to customers
- Discovering new revenue opportunities
- Receiving access to Cisco Collaboration pricing program and being eligible to rebate programs and Cisco Unified Workspace for Partners (CUWP)
- Taking advantage of the Value Incentive Program whilst being part of the Collaboration Annuity Track
- Acquiring recognition in the Cisco Partner Locator
