BlueAlly today announced it has achieved the Cisco SMB and Mid-Market Business Practice in the United States, an invitation-only competency within the Cisco 360 Partner Program created for partners serving the small and medium-sized business (SMB) and mid-market segments.
In granting the designation, Cisco recognized BlueAlly’s ability to provide sophisticated, value-added Cisco solutions through its sales capabilities, technology skills, and service offerings. BlueAlly is now identified as holding the practice in the Cisco Partner Locator.
Cisco introduced the competency under Cisco 360 to recognize partners with proven expertise delivering demand-led, scalable solutions, and to help those partners stand out in a competitive market. Partners holding the practice gain deeper Cisco business and technical sales enablement, along with marketing and technology resources aimed at growth in the segment.
The designation follows the five Cisco Preferred Partner designations BlueAlly earned earlier this month across Collaboration, Security, Services, Cloud and AI Infrastructure, and Networking. Taken together, they describe a partner equipped to serve organizations at both ends of the size range, from enterprises with dedicated architecture teams to companies running lean IT departments.
What the Practice Means for BlueAlly Clients
- Validated Cisco expertise built for small and mid-sized environments rather than scaled down from enterprise work
- Solution design that is demand-led and sized to the organization, consistent with Cisco’s criteria for the practice
- Deeper Cisco business and technical sales enablement behind every engagement
- Access to current Cisco technology solutions for organizations that do not carry enterprise-scale IT teams
“Much of the attention in this industry goes to the largest and most complex deals, and that leaves out a great deal,” said Mary Gonzales, Director Cisco Alliances, BlueAlly. “Smaller and mid-sized organizations run on the same technology and carry the same risk, usually with a fraction of the staff. This designation says Cisco trusts BlueAlly across that full range. Small or big, it does not change how we show up for a client.”
BlueAlly continues to invest in the Cisco practice areas its clients depend on, pairing consultative design with managed operations so organizations of any size can put current technology to work without taking on more complexity.
