Overbeek has no doubt that Cisco made the right move focusing on cloud. ’We know that partners know we made the right, strategic choice,’ said Overbeek.

He suggested partners also delve into analytics in order to build and connect networks. ’Get smart. Those of you that are smart, get smarter,’ he said.

Overbeek highlighted energy management, interactions with service partners, and industry solutions and consulting as other major areas of opportunity for partners.
