Near the end of March, as the last of the leftover glitter was swept from the streets of New Orleans, Cisco and TD SYNNEX partners gathered for not just one, but two insightful and collaborative events. The first, CommunitySolv, was held from March 19-22 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. True to the theme, the Power of Partnership, the CommunitySolv 2023 Spring Conference brought together partners from across the country to network, share strategic insights and innovative ideas, and listen to engaging speakers share their own expertise.
CommunitySolv is an important event because it brings together the Cisco and TD SYNNEX community to discuss issues and share insight that can help partners grow their businesses. One of the presenters, Bryan Merrell, Sr. Director U.S. Field Sales – Cisco, TD SYNNEX, said, “Partners were engaged during breaks and after sessions, sharing ideas on improving their business. This type of networking cannot be accomplished in a virtual setting.” In addition to meeting fellow business leaders, partners learn how to maximize profits through strategies and analytics.
This year’s CommunitySolv 2023 Spring Conference, attended by around 250 partners, featured Keynote speaker Kindra Hall, best-selling author and columnist. Additionally, partners were able to attend informative breakout sessions presented by Merrell and Heather Lange, Director, Product Marketing – Cisco, TD SYNNEX, as well as Greg Cooney, Systems Architect, Cisco. For those who missed out, Merrell and Lange’s session focused on Cisco’s new UCSX Rack and Blade Server, along with discussing the integration services within TD SYNNEX.
Regarding their presentation, Lange explained, “Bryan and I presented on how Cisco is creating and leading with sustainable Data Centers. More specifically, we highlighted how Cisco’s UCS-X series brings about sustainability, security, and a complete managed compute platform within the industry. We then transitioned to review TD SYNNEX’s certified Integration Services. These services provide the most advanced integration and logistics capabilities possible to support our channel partners’ current and future businesses. From there, we closed our presentation with a callout to Cisco’s Sustainability Specialization, free FI with UCS-X promotion and our EDGE enablement framework.”
The conference may be over, but the lessons learned by those in attendance will live on through new business connections and more informed business decisions. Through networking opportunities, insightful presentations, and engaging breakout sessions, the Power of Partnership was truly highlighted at the CommunitySolv 2023 Spring Conference.
