Happened upon this site for moaners. You DO realize Cisco is doing great without you. Suggests some smart management. As a channel partner working with several manufacturers I can say, Cisco has the best channels program in the industry. Cisco is now hitting on all cylinders. Congrats Cisco team!

No one cares what some monkey partner has to say. Get back to twiddling your thumbs and waiting for Cisco to bring you some business so you can make payments on your BMW 320 and buy another cheap suit to put your cheesy pocket squares in. Nothing says highflyer like a thug in an overly dressed suit for a business meeting.
Everyone in Cisco takes the pi55 out of you guys. You do realise this?
The comment is about profit margins for the partners. The partners get screwed while Cisco profits.
Yup. Driving down the margins... what are Cisco doing!!!! Look at this! https://ycharts.com/companies/CSCO/gross_profit_margin

Ohhh. Wait. Margins haven't changed? Clearly Idiots!
That is so funny. Cisco has so many channel partners all competing with each other and driving the margins down. Then Cisco comes along and cherry picks the good deals and takes them direct. The only way channel partners make any money is if they do consulting services and installed or bundle in other products.
Google buys direct from an award winning Cisco sales team. The plan was to have E/// become our main partner/service channel into SPs but they reverted back to their passive aggressive Swedish nature along the way. Now we compete.
Just tell the truth dog, good or bad, this board is anonymous.....give it to us straight.
Thanks Chuck. Glad to have you here. PS, does Google buy through one of our channels?
