Cisco changes partner incentives and lets partners resell Cisco IQ under own brand
Overview
Cisco announced changes to its partner program at its 2026 Partner Summit in Vancouver, adding credit for influence and recurring Cisco IQ services.
Cisco says its Ecosystem Deal Registration gives advisers, consultants and developers formal credit for deals they influence, even when they do not execute them. Partners can now deliver Cisco IQ under their own brand.
Cisco cites an example in which a 75-switch refresh with Cisco IQ rises from about $625,000 to roughly $1.3 million over five years, including incentives. The figures are Cisco's own illustration, not independently verified results.
