Partner Summit 2008

Collaboration Without Limitation

The innovations of Web 2.0 technologies create ‘infinite possibilities’ for Partner Summit 2008 by creating Virtual Partner Summit leveraging the Cisco Partner Space platform. Partners globally will have the ability to use these innovative features that provide a dynamic, interactive way to learn more about business requirements and capabilities, and can be used to promote collaboration and communication between partners and Cisco.

The benefits…Through this virtual experience, partners can take advantage of the collaboration features, interacting with other partners and Cisco.
