Knowledge announced today a training program to help Cisco partners
develop the new Business Architect role that was recently announced
at the Cisco Partner Summit by Keith Goodwin, Cisco Senior Vice
President, Worldwide Partner Organization. The program teaches
Cisco partners to develop scalable and sustainable Cisco
architecture practices.
Global Knowledge proactively developed the Business Architect
Program, which utilizes a robust enterprise business architecture,
business analysis, and business process consulting curriculum to
transform talented Cisco Channel Partner Account Managers into
Business Architects. Cisco pledged to co-fund 75% of the training
cost for eligible Cisco partners for a limited time.
“We are deeply committed to enabling Cisco’s channel partners to
develop the skills needed to evolve and grow in the current market,
and we are proud to have worked closely with Cisco on this project
for the last 12 months,” said Brian K. Branson, Global Knowledge
President and Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to
providing Cisco partners with a competitive advantage by enabling
them to support their customers’ desire to strategically align
business processes with emerging technologies.”
The Business Architect Program provides partners with the knowledge
and skills to clearly articulate the business relevancy of Cisco’s
architectural solutions and to uncover business transformation
opportunities for their customers.
“We’ve created a cohesive program that provides partners with
skills that drive real and sustainable individual and
organizational change,” said Ali Hawksworth, Global Knowledge
Worldwide Cisco Business Development Director. “We are uniquely
positioned to deliver this complex change program because of our
comprehensive curriculum of technical, sales, business
architecture, business analysis, and business process consulting
coupled with our Cisco Learning Solutions Partner status.”
Cisco partners can apply for the 75% co-funded Business
Architect training until June 15* at www.cisco.com/go/businessarchitect.
