Authorized Service Provider Video Program
 

Cisco Service Provider Video Technology Group (former Scientific-Atlanta) provides leading-edge thinking about what companies and countries can achieve with networked communications and IT. They have a unique ability to anticipate transitions in the marketplace and build the products and services to enable these transitions. The combination of Cisco and Scientific Atlanta fills an important void in a key market transition as video, data, voice and mobility converge and customers begin to transition to delivering an entertainment, information or communications experience rather than seeing themselves as merely providing access to a service. Together, they have a unique opportunity to capture this next wave in networking and communications as the market transitions to integrated services offerings.

 

The Cisco Authorized Service Provider (SP) Video Program is for Cisco partners who want to expand their video expertise and work with Cisco to jointly expand the number of service providers that use Cisco video solutions. The goal is to build a mutually profitable partnership to address our customers' needs.

 

Information about Cisco products has been combined into one, easy-to-use, online portfolio to help you deliver the “Any Play” experience to consumers. Centralizing this information in a single location makes it easier to find everything you need related to the full portfolio of Cisco video products, technologies, and solutions.
