From Trend to Mainstay: The Unstoppable Force of Managed Services
Partners, we are counting down the days to Cisco Live Las Vegas. Get ready to go beyond and explore new paths to success with partner managed-ready solutions designed to enable greater efficiency, operational scale, innovation, and open new market opportunities!
There’s no denying that IT managed services are being embraced across businesses of all sizes as a path to achieve business goals. As technologies becomes increasingly complex and the lines between siloed architectures become blurred, companies are progressively leveraging managed services to increase their agility, deliver transformational capabilities, and accelerate their growth.
In the Americas alone, the opportunity for partners is projected to be $158B by 2027 across both products and services. Partner managed services represent a significant growth opportunity and route to market for Cisco and our partners, and as the demand for cross-architectural and cloud-delivered solutions accelerates, growth will continue.
Additionally, as AI adoption continues to shift the technology landscape, even more opportunities are emerging. In Cisco’s AI readiness index, 97% of organizations say the urgency to deploy AI-powered solutions has increased in their company within the past six months, yet 86% say they are not fully prepared to leverage AI and AI-powered technologies to their fullest potential. In this era of Artificial Intelligence, Managed Service Providers will play an outsized role in helping organizations realize the innovation they seek at scale.
AI enabled Managed Service Providers (MSP) are the future
As more organizations look for ways to harness AI, Cisco is already establishing AI-driven solutions for Managed Service Provider Partners. Our platform-based approach and commitment to responsible AI will help you reshape your operations and unlock new experiences and revenue streams for you and your customers while mitigating the unique risks that AI-based technologies may bring.
