Program Participation

The ATP Program is an invitation-only program. To participate in the ATP Program, you must already possess relevant job, industry, and market credentials in the ATP technology. Before engaging with potential ATP partners, a Cisco sponsor or channel account manager (CAM) must proceed to the ATP Instruction Page for nomination, approval, and partner invitation instructions. You should take the following steps:

  1. Read the requirements for participation in the ATP Program.
  2. If identified as a participating partner/provider, complete the Cisco ATP application and review it with your CAM. If you meet all criteria, your CAM will submit a request for invitation to the ATP Theater Lead contact. Note: filling out an application does not guarantee an invitation.
  3. 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.

Partner Profile

The IPICS ATP requires that a partner have demonstrated professional services practice implementing core and edge routing solutions in central office and data center environments, as well as holding the requisite industry/market credentials required in their local geography. As a result, this ATP is by invitation only, and requires a Cisco account team to sponsor candidate partners for this program

Restricted Products

New partners are allowed to prospect leads and develop quotes for Cisco IPICS products/solutions during the qualification period, but will not be allowed to purchase Cisco IPICS products and begin deployments until they have successfully met the defined requirements for this ATP.
