Business Technology Architects Inc (BTA) is pleased to announce our selection and approval for the Cisco Mentored Install Network Training (MINT) program. This is an invitation-only program focused on Advanced Technology adoption partners. The MINT program requires demonstrated customer success and deep levels of expertise in the technology areas serviced by BTA. "We are honored Cisco has selected BTA to participate in the MINT program," said Ken Fee, CEO of BTA. "This program is a perfect fit for BTA, with our focus on customer adoption of transformational technologies that create positive business outcomes for our mutual customers."

Deploying Cisco Tetration, Data Center and Enterprise networking solutions calls for a new set of skills and deep technical expertise that is best learned from real world deployments. MINT Service Partners are carefully selected by Cisco's Global Partner Organization (GPO) ensuring that they are service-only partners that help the existing channel partner community adopt, scale and build out new practice areas.

BTA has been working with Cisco since our founding in 2010 on numerous go-to-market enablement initiatives, most recently Cisco Tetration Analytics and the Nexus 9000/ACI Software Defined Networking product family. Every MINT Service Partner has received rigorous training and validation of our processes from Cisco's GPO SWAT teams.

CISCO MINT PARTNER PROGRAM

Under the MINT program, BTA will offer a range of mentored install services on Cisco Tetration, ACI and SDA/DNA Center and will be working side-by-side with customers and channel partners to teach them to fish by learning repeatable practices that can be used in future Cisco engagements.

The MINT program includes Security, Enterprise Networking, Data Center, and Multi-Cloud. BTA has aligned with these areas and is ready to support Cisco and the channel across multiple technology areas. BTA is currently engaged in numerous MINT opportunities on a global basis.

BTA's MINT services are now available on the Cisco Global Price list. Please contact BTA sales at sales@gobta.com for scoping and ordering of MINT services.
