My organization is where we put the \u201cCisco is partner-led\u201d messaging into action, helping our America\u2019s-based partners succeed by helping them deliver truly exceptional outcomes for our mutual customers.<\/p>\n As you\u2019ve probably heard, our partner-centric global sales go-to-market strategy revolves around three key components: Growth, Transformation, and Culture.<\/p>\n Growth<\/strong>: We\u2019re dedicated to boosting top-line growth through the Growth Sprints framework, aiming to increase average contract value and renewal revenue. This aligns seamlessly with our strategic pillars in the Americas. These four pillars serve as our guiding principles for FY24 as we shape and execute our initiatives.<\/p>\n Being \u201cbetter together<\/strong>\u201d emphasizes collaboration within the Cisco organization and, critically, with our partners, forging a formidable alliance with an exceptionally extensive and diverse portfolio. And many of our partners are thriving working with Cisco. Here are just a few (of many) examples:<\/p>\n One of our largest partners, WWT<\/a>, worked with Cisco to bring down a large network transformation project that included many sites of deployment and services. And in this deal, the Cisco and WWT teams became aligned prior to the execution of the sale all the through the solution design and close. And then after the sale, we remained aligned in clear swim lanes of responsibility to drive the most effective results for the customer in a timely manner. Many of our partners are transforming with us, transitioning from more hardware-centric, project-based organizations to also offering a balance of software-oriented offerings. Across the customer lifecycle, we\u2019re committed to offering insights to our shared customers, harnessing the power of Cisco technology and partner value-added services. This ensures that customers maximize the value derived from their investments with us.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s explore what FY24 holds in store. Put simply, it\u2019s all about delivering tomorrow\u2019s growth today, which is something we know we can\u2019t do without our partners.<\/p>\n In the coming year, we\u2019ll remain aligned with the APO\u2019s core priorities, including hunting for new logos and franchises, propelling software platforms, driving adoption, refreshing hardware, and enhancing premium services. All the while, we\u2019ll be evolving our go-to-market strategies, both internally and externally.<\/p>\n What sets the Americas Partner Organization apart is our unique position within the best-in-class Americas partner ecosystem. We serve as a formidable force multiplier, leveraging partner innovation to redefine possibilities and accelerate profitable growth. Together, we\u2019re poised for an exciting journey in FY24.<\/p>\n So, with this in mind, I invite you to join me at Partner Summit or via the Cisco Partner Summit 2023 Live Digital Broadcast<\/a>.
