A Cisco Program designed to reward and protect your presales investment
Cisco Opportunity Incentive Program is a deal registration framework that provides qualifying channel partners with incentives in the form of incremental discounts. It is designed to reward and protect the presales investment that a partner makes when developing new sales opportunities.
The benefits of the program include:
::
Provides a financial advantage for partners who bring in new business opportunities
::
Improves partner profitability
::
Protects the partner's presales investments and value delivered to customers
::
Facilitates value engagement by identifying the partner who is first to develop the opportunity, ensuring early engagement between the partner and Cisco
::
Standardised rules and procedures that reduce partner administration and training time, and decrease the complexity of the sales approval process
::
Flexibility for direct partners to participate and order directly from Cisco when using the program (on applicable promotions)
When placing a Cisco OIP order on Westcon Group, please remember:
::
OIP is available Cisco Gold, Silver, Premier or Select Certified Partners
::
All deals must be registered by the Cisco Partner via Partner Deal Registration Tool (PDR) and pre-approved by Cisco prior to ordering.
::
All OIP deals must reference the approved PDR Deal ID at time of order

Product Update ::
Get personal with the new TelePresence CTS 500 TelePresence broadens its appeal with the launch of a new model
Cisco recently launched the Cisco TelePresence 500 endpoint in May. The CTS 500 enables individuals to join TelePresence calls, and appear life-size on other endpoints. Called "Personal TelePresence", this new category of TelePresence is designed to meet the needs of office workers in terms of price, space and ergonomics.
The Cisco TelePresence meeting solution helps businesses bridge geographical divides by utilising scalable, virtual meeting technology. New enhancements enable businesses to hold virtual meetings with multiple locations at one time, and provide them with the security
and freedom to organise meetings with customers or partners
outside of the corporate firewall. For more informationclick here.
