Telecommunications and technology firm Cisco will focus on the rapid transformation and opportunities brought about by digitisation, at its annual Partner Summit due to be held on May 24.  

At the event, the company will reveal to its partners its strategy for accelerating profitable growth together and speak about the business outcomes that new solutions can bring to customers across sectors.

The event serves as a platform to ensure better alignment and a greater value exchange within the Cisco Partner Ecosystem. Partners will be able to engage with Cisco’s global and local executives, network with industry peers and receive updates on Cisco’s partner strategy.

“The pace of change in our industry is accelerating and while this means a wider array of market segments and areas where we are able to deliver tangible impact and business outcomes, it also highlights the need for closer alignment and collaboration with our channel partner community,” said Frida Kleimert, head of channel and commercial sales at Cisco UAE.

“As the market transforms and every country, city, and business become digital, we need to bring greater value to our customers. The opportunities for Cisco and our partners are huge and are growing more rapidly than ever. Cisco is committed to capturing market trends while empowering our partners to develop their own digital niche so we can meet the changing needs of customers today and tomorrow,” she added.

Kleimert will open the summit, followed by keynote presentations by Milo Schacher, vice president of EMEAR Partner Organisation at Cisco, on ‘the Power of Cisco Partnerships’ and Denny Trevett, vice president of ecosystem sales acceleration at Cisco, on ‘Driving Digitisation with our Partner Ecosystem’.

Other speakers from Cisco include Mike Weston, vice president, Middle East; Gordon Thomson, managing director, enterprise networking, EMEAR; Clinton O' Leary, cloud lead, Middle East; and Ivan Duggan, enterprise networks technology sales leader, EMEAR.

The Cisco UAE Partner Summit will be held at the Ritz Carlton in Dubai, UAE. –TradeArabia News Service
