I’ll be at Cisco Partner Summit in Boston, today through June 4. In addition to MSPmentor’s managed services industry coverage (here are some stories we’re working on), we’ll spend considerable time this week exploring Cisco’s managed services strategy. And our sister site, The VAR Guy, takes a look at Cisco Channel Chief Keith Goodwin’s response to the HP-Microsoft Unified Communications partnership. If you have questions for Cisco’s channel team, feel free to email me (joe [at] NineLivesMediaInc.com).
