Cisco Launches Partner Program for Webex

Cisco has launched a Webex Wholesale Route-to-Market (RTM) for Service Provider partners to meet the needs of small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs).

• CEO Charged Over Trafficking $1B of Counterfeit Cisco Equipment

• Kurmi Joins Cisco SolutionsPlus Program

• Introducing the Bluescape for Webex App

The Wholesale Partner Program features multiple packages that allow users to access the capabilities of the Webex Suite.

The sales model includes a single contract with each partner, which enables them to extend Webex voice, video and collaboration technology for SMB customers.

The packages are designed to allow for flexibility and scalability to make sure that it fits the needs of individual small businesses.

Jeetu Patel, Cisco EVP and GM, Security & Collaboration, commented:

“By tapping into the brand power of respected Service Providers and combining it with our inclusive Webex technology, rapid innovation, and complete collaboration portfolio, we are creating winning partnerships that address the communication needs of small and medium-sized businesses and help them thrive in a hybrid work world.”

According to Cisco, the wholesale solution makes it easier for Service Providers to leverage their brand with a co-branded offer, build on their own market position, and innovate their own services.

There will initially be four managed services for Webex that are available through the Wholesale RTM.

These packages include, Webex Calling, Common Area Calling, Webex Meetings and Webex Suite.

Webex Calling features one-to-one and group messaging, file-sharing and basic video conferencing for up to 100 users.

Common Area Calling allows for customers to have calling built for shared use, common area locations and phones.

Webex Meetings is a premium meeting and messaging plaform that allows for up to 1,000 users. The package also includes Webex Assistant, Slido, remote desktop control, moderator controls, and more.

Webex Suite features all of the above with additional premium calling, messaging and meetings.

The parter program will feautre consumption-based billing, with fixed, per-user/per-month package pricing and gives Service Prodivers several invoicing options.

Cisco says the managed services for Webex is the first offer available through the Cisco Wholesale Partner Program, with more Cisco devices and cloud services designed for the SMB market to be launched later this year.

In June, The Cisco Live 2022 EMEAR Press Conference revealed several new releases coming to Cisco’s technology portfolio.

The event was generally centred around the theme of security and networking.
