Cisco’s Customer Assessment Incentive for Networking

Cisco understands the importance of keeping a customer’s network fresh and secure, especially when it comes to devices that play a role in security. With this in mind, they are rewarding partners that conduct assessments that identify outdated technology in need of replacement.

Cisco is offering rewards for Network Enterprise assessments that generate refresh opportunities and where program requirements are being met. The program is called “Customer Assessment Incentive for Networking” and is expected to fully launch mid-September 2024.

The program will include the following Service Offers:

• Secure Networking
• Secure Network Management
• Secure Edge

Not only will partners find new revenue opportunities by conducting these assessments that generally require customer conversations to understand a customers’ current priorities and growth strategies, but they will also be paid an incentive for each opportunity if they meet the program requirements.

At the core of being able to start these assessments requires a powerful Discovery program that can run complete scans of the network and security devices that are covered under each program.

Discovery and Assessment of the customer’s actual network

Discovery and assessment of a customer’s actual network are critical steps in understanding the current state of their IT infrastructure. These processes help organizations get a comprehensive, real-time view of their network environment, which is essential for making informed decisions about upgrades, security, compliance, and overall network health.
