Cisco will fund 75% of Partner’s training costs
for new Business Architect training program
Riyadh (KSA) – May 13, 2010
- Global 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 July 31 at www.cisco.com/go/businessarchitect.
