As part of Cisco's commitment to deliver more comprehensive, targeted solutions to small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers, Cisco will be integrating the Linksys Partner Connection program with the Cisco Channel Partner Program on September 16, 2008. At this time the Linksys Partner Connection Program will be retired.

With a unified partner program, Linksys partners will gain the following benefits:

  • Access to a broader portfolio of Cisco SMB product options
  • More resources than ever before to deliver outstanding solutions to their SMB customers.
  • Expanded tools and promotion offerings will strengthen the ability for Linksys partners to sell and support both Linksys Business Series and Cisco SMB products in this important customer segment.

To take advantage of these benefits, however, Linksys partners must become Cisco Registered Partners.  (For Linksys partners that are already are Cisco Registered Partners, no action is required for this transition.)

No training courses or exams are required to become a Cisco Registered Partner. In fact, the entire process can be completed in just a few minutes, using a simple online registration form. Register online today
