Module 8: Partner Technical Support Services

What is the Cisco Shared Support Program Replacing?

The Cisco Shared Support program will become available beginning July 25, 2003, in specified countries, and will replace the following partner-branded programs:

  System Integrator Support (SISE/SIS98) – worldwide
  Partner Owned
  Partner Managed Gold/partner managed – US and Australia only
  Reseller Support Agreement (RSA) - EMEA only
  Value added Distributor (VAD/VAD light)

End of Sales for SIS98 is scheduled for July 31, 2004 in EMEA*. For Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Canada the date is March 31, 2004. End of support is scheduled for March 31, 2007. This means that effective April 1, 2007, Cisco will no longer support devices previously covered by the partner's SIS98 contract unless new coverage has been initiated under either the Cisco Shared Support program or the Cisco Brand Resale program.

*SIS98 End of sales is July 31, 2004 in the following countries in EMEA:
  Austria
  Belgium
  Denmark
  Finland
  France
  Germany
  Greece
  Ireland
  Italy
  Luxembourg
  Netherlands
  Norway
  Portugal
  Spain
  South Africa
  Sweden

Between July 25 and October 25, partners will transition from any previous partner-branded programs to either the Cisco Shared Support program or the Cisco Brand Resale program.
