IZATION causation

Technology is rapidly transforming the way everyone does business. Yet many organizations are falling behind. Their infrastructures lack the bandwidth to keep up with rising demands. Their security isn’t updated to respond to advanced threats. Their storage capabilities are severely lacking. They need to replace aging hardware and software to address agility issues and maintain a competitive edge.

Plus, a shift is taking place in the way that businesses make technology- buying decisions. Today, it’s the business owners, rather than IT personnel, who are driving IT spend based on improving business outcomes. In fact, analysts expect that over the next 3 years, 90% of technology spending will come from outside the IT department.

Your IZATION opportunity

By 2020, an estimated 40% of organizations will be affected by these new business models and the resulting shift in market dynamics, according to Gartner.

Digital disruptors are shaking up the IT landscape with innovation. Rapid growth in mobility, IoT, analytics and cloud is driving new opportunities.

Across healthcare, retail and manufacturing verticals, devices and processes are becoming more network connected.

In short, there’s a lot of opportunity out there.

Cisco’s Digital Network Architecture (DNA)
is designed to help solution providers accelerate the digital revolution and prepare customers for the IZATION Effect.

What Is It?

Cisco DNA is not a product set. It’s a philosophy that supports organizations across every industry and vertical market.

Cisco DNA-designed networks help organizations make money, save money and minimize risk while preparing them for the new digital world, with such benefits as:

IT AGILITY AND SCALE

IMPROVED USER EXPERIENCE

LOWER IT COSTS

RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION

REDUCED SECURITY RISK

INVESTMENT PROTECTION

Assess your customers’ IZATION readiness

You can’t address the problem with your customers if they don’t know they have one, and you can’t convince them without demonstrating benefits of preparing to compete in the new digital world.

To help your customers’ businesses prepare for the Ization Effect, start by walking them through this short DNA-Readiness Assessment Quiz.

TAKE THE DNA QUIZ

Once you’ve calculated their score, be sure to have them take advantage of an On-Site Digital-Readiness Assessment from Ingram Micro Professional Services.

With this turnkey solution, our highly trained engineers can be deployed to your end users’ locations to conduct full assessment, which you can use to make recommendations for transitioning to DNA.

INGRAM MICRO ASSESSMENT

Cisco is also offering two different network assessment services to partners:

CISCO ACTIVE ADVISOR

Ideal for smaller opportunities, this free, cloud-based service lets you assess equipment risk and personalize recommendations for network equipment and security.

DRN (CISCO-FUNDED NETWORK ASSESSMENT)

For larger opportunities, this assessment helps partners with their own field-deployable resources identify customers' key business initiatives and address them with relevant digital solutions, as well as identify and prioritize refresh and upgrade opportunities.

ASSESSMENT INCENTIVES AVAILABLE

Once your customers understand where they sit on the curve, you can help them move the needle and transition their businesses to a DNA model capable of accelerating business outcomes for tomorrow and beyond.

Whether they’re delivered by Ingram Micro Professional Services or your own engineers, assessments can be offered to your customers free of charge as a value-added service.
