Cisco is a fantastic partner and I'm proud of all our Comstor associates and partners that helped us earn these awards."
Comstor's success last year was due in large part to its new Comstor EDGE program, a platform featuring a robust suite of end-to-end practice-building programs that incorporates Comstor's solutions expertise with a strong focus on enhanced partner enablement around sales, marketing, training, distribution, professional services, and finance.
The EDGE program is anchored by the core elements of the relationship lifecycle: Engage, Develop, Grow and Extend. Solution providers participating in Comstor EDGE have experienced higher revenue growth than the general market.
