Recently, our team attended the ThousandEyes Partner Connection event in St. Petersburg, Florida, held at the beautiful Vinoy Resort. The event highlighted several key takeaways for partners, including:

• 100% Commitment to Channel Partners: ThousandEyes announced a shift to a full channel sales model, emphasizing their dedication to partner collaboration. This transition aims to enhance partner capabilities in delivering optimal digital experiences across various use cases, including customer application experiences, workforce digital experiences, and enterprise digital experiences. This move is intended to help partners, like Presidio Federal, meet the growing demand for reliable connectivity and optimized digital interactions in a cloud-first, hybrid work environment.

• Enhanced Support for Partners: ThousandEyes is providing robust support to ensure partners can effectively assist customers in achieving business continuity. This support includes opportunities for increased revenue through resell margins, professional services, and managed services. Tools and resources such as the ThousandEyes Automator, pricing tools, and extensive training programs are available to help partners build and grow their practices.

• Playbook Resource Release: ThousandEyes released guided playbooks to show partners how to integrate ThousandEyes into SDWAN and WebEx opportunities. These guides provide a comprehensive walkthrough, including tools to help partners succeed.

The playbooks provide a “soup-to-nuts” walkthrough that includes tools such as how to build the right team, build the right solution, closing the deal and ensuring the renewal, in order to make Presidio Federal team successful when it comes to knowing how ThousandEyes enhances Cisco and Meraki SDWAN along with Webex.

ThousandEyes also announced their integration into the Meraki dashboard, which brings their unparalleled SaaS visibility at scale on Meraki’s SDWAN. This integration allows customers to monitor essential business applications through pre-configured test templates for applications like Webex by Cisco, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and others.

Overall, the event underscored ThousandEyes’ commitment to empowering partners, enhancing digital transformation efforts, and driving new business opportunities through a comprehensive support ecosystem.
