Cisco has forged a new cooperative agreement with distributor Tech Data to help its partners with their single biggest headache—the talent shortage.
Through a three-pronged program called Capacity Builder, Cisco will use existing capabilities of Tech Data, of Clearwater, Fla., to help partners make the most of the talent they already have by improving productivity.
“This program was co-developed with Cisco to address the single most critical issue facing Cisco partners,” said Chuck Bartlett, Tech Data’s vice president for Networking Product Marketing. “We believe this talent deficit, if not corrected could impact their ability to maximize opportunities.”
