As the #1 DSI partner we are dramatically transforming the ecosystem. Come meet IGNW at Cisco Partner Summit and find out why!
What is the DSI Program??
Cisco Digital Solutions Integrator (DSI) IGNW helps Cisco and partners be more relevant in pervasive automation, DevOps, and hybrid IT by changing the client conversation from one that’s technology focused to one that emphasizes the value of those technologies and how they drive business objectives.
By focusing on business outcomes, IGNW helps expand partners’ reach into new areas and uncover bigger opportunities. IGNW accomplishes this by including additional Cisco products, software, and services that harness the differentiation of Cisco engineering combined with the flexibility of contemporary, open-source toolsets, such as Docker, Kubernetes, HashiCorp, Puppet, Ansible, Jenkins, and the pervasiveness of public cloud PaaS/IaaS providers.
Cisco Partner Summit is around the corner, and there will be key learnings and thoughts to help you with your conversations regarding the business model transition to recurring offers that is underway.
So what is everyone talking about at Cisco Partner Summit?
It’s all about software
Gartner analysts predict $3.7 Trillion in 2018 IT spending in two key areas – enterprise software and IT services. This combination of software and services, when paired with attractive financial terms — like spreading payments over the term of the subscription, bundling all elements into a single payment, and budget predictability — represents a prime opportunity for partners to help customers invest in new software and re-think their IT spending through a strategic lens instead of a price-driven deal.
In FY18- IGNW helped Cisco & its Partners sell millions and millions in net new Cisco Solutions for customer digital transformation!
