With the launch of the network intuitive that put its focus squarely on its traditional territory of the network — albeit with a new business model and new capabilities — Cisco had a big year in 2017.

In this edition of the ChannelBuzz.ca Podcast, we’re joined by Mark Collins, vice president of the partner organization for Cisco Canada, to discuss the highlights of that launch, and many of the other major developments of 2017.

Collins touches on the details of the launch, how it’s playing in the Canadian market, and where the company is seeing interest and demand as a result. He also discusses what the company is doing to support its partners with changes to its partner programs, both in response to the big launch and to the other major forces changing customer demand.

He also delves into his thoughts on the mood in the solution provider channel at the beginning of 2018, and what solution providers can expect from the networking giant over the course of this year.

All that and more, in this edition of the ChannelBuzz.ca Podcast.
