Geoff Works Discusses Webex by Cisco at ScanSource Channel Connect

When the Webex partnership with Intelisys was first introduced in 2021, the door was opened for new growth opportunities in UC (Unified Communications) and Cloud, aligning with the recurring revenue model. 

At the time it was their first step into the agent community. Webex had yet to partner with a TSD to bring its solution to the channel. For the first time ever, you had the ability to sell solutions in the portfolio, including calling, meetings, messaging and select devices and make commissions. 

While new to the agent channel, Cisco has had a 15-year relationship with ScanSource. Enhancing this longstanding Cisco business by adding Webex solution offerings through an agency model unlocked new opportunities for growth in UC, cloud and recurring revenue for you. 

The team behind the scenes has been aligning go to market strategies with operational process since then to ensure selling Webex through the agency model is simple and streamlined. See how VARs (Value Added Resellers) like Insight, who have had access to the solution through partnerships with Webex and ScanSource, are now reaping the benefits of transacting it through us in this video.

Fast forward to our first ever ScanSource Channel Connect 2022. In the video below, Geoff Works, head of agency, Webex by Cisco, reinforces the strength of the relationship, the engagement with the agent community and solution enhancements on the horizon. And be on the lookout for Webex Contact Center, which is launching with us before the end of the calendar year. 

Geoff also discusses how various experts from across our organization have supported the mission. It’s simple. The Webex solution can help your customers unlock their team’s human potential, battle burnout and thrive in a hybrid work environment. 

WebEx is a notable example of the hybrid distribution strategy—devices + digital—paying dividends for #IntelisysNation. Watch the full interview below to learn more about how you can complement your practice and unlock opportunities with Webex through us.
