About the Awards
The Cisco Regional Awards are presented to partners who meet a specific set of requirements designed to identify the best regional channel partner in each category. Cisco’s formal nomination and selection process begins with each sales theater identifying and nominating a channel partner for each category. These nominations are reviewed and a collective group that includes Cisco worldwide channels and theater channel executives makes final selections. With the exception of the Global Distribution Award, which recognizes value creation and operational excellences, all the other global awards are in compliance with the requirements of the Cisco Channel Partner Program and customer satisfaction as its foundational criterion.
