Now it's easier for qualified Cisco channel partners to grow Cisco TrustSec and Identity Services Engine (ISE) sales and services with the Cisco ISE Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) program.
The program identifies, qualifies, trains, and helps a select set of Cisco channel partners provide solutions and services for Cisco ISE products. It also helps partners increase 802.1x policy market adoption, while maintaining high customer satisfaction.
Program Participation
The ATP Program is invitation-only. To participate, you must already have relevant job, industry, and market credentials in ATP technology. Before engaging with potential ATP partners, a Cisco sponsor or partner account manager (PAM) must proceed to the ATP Instruction Page for nomination, approval, and partner invitation instructions.
Here are the steps
- Read the requirements for participation in the ATP Program.
- If identified as a participating partner or provider, complete the Cisco Identity Services Engine ATP application and review it with your PAM.
- If you meet all criteria, your PAM working with the ATP theater program lead will submit a request for invitation to the Identity Services Engine ATP program contact. Note: filling out an application does not guarantee an invitation.
- Once invited, visit the Certification and Specialization Application (CSApp) / Invitation tool to complete the program requirements checklist (PRC) online. The Word version file can be downloaded and used to track completion of program requirements.
- Cisco Advanced Services has created service packages for customers planning to design and deploy the Cisco ISE platforms. Partners can access these services using the links provided in the "Resources" section in this tab.
Partner Profile
A successful Identity Services Engine ATP partner is an existing reseller and systems integrator with:
- Experience selling network security infrastructure to enterprise customers
- Willingness to invest in personnel and training to effectively sell and deploy products in the emerging 802.1x policy market, with the goal of growing TrustSec or ISE sales and services.
Ideal candidates would also be existing Master Security Certified Partners or Gold Certified Partners with an enterprise select customer base, and with wired 802.1x and Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) Appliance deployment experience.
Restricted Products
New partners can prospect leads and develop quotes for Cisco Identity Services Engine products and solutions during the qualification period. However, they cannot purchase these products and begin deployments until they have successfully met the defined requirements for this ATP program.
