CANCOM received multiple honors at the Cisco Partner Summit 2025 in San Diego (November 3-5, 2025), taking home three awards:

• Project Partner of the Year (Germany)

• Marketing Partner of the Year (Germany)

• Networking Partner of the Year (Austria)

These awards recognize projects in which CANCOM has used Cisco technologies to innovatively solve complex customer requirements and achieve measurable business results in Germany and Austria. The effective marketing measures with which CANCOM has positioned Cisco solutions specifically for target groups and won new customers were also highlighted. The Networking Partner of the Year award also underscores CANCOM Austria’s leading expertise in the field of modern network infrastructures – including AI readiness, automation, and clearly demonstrated added value for customers.

“We combine strategy with practice, innovation with responsibility. Our claim is clear: customers should not only receive technology, but also experience real progress,” explains Martin Mayr, Senior Vice President at CANCOM. “The awards are great proof that we are succeeding in this with our partner Cisco.”

Cisco also presented key innovations at the summit: With the new Cisco 360 Partner Program, which launches on January 25, 2026, Cisco aims to enable partners to achieve greater profitability and growth in the AI era. The program introduces new bonus models, specializations such as secure networking and secure AI infrastructure, and expanded training offerings. For customers, this means that CANCOM will be able to respond even more quickly and knowledgeably to new technological requirements and deliver security and AI solutions more efficiently, resulting in attractive offers, higher service quality, and even more reliable project implementation.
