Cisco Application eXtension Platform Development
Partner Program
Partner Program
The Cisco
®
Application eXtension Platform (AXP) provides a platform for developing applications
that are integrated with Cisco integrated services routers. The AXP Development Partner Program
is a framework for customers, systems integrators, service providers, and independent software
vendors (ISVs) interested in developing software on Cisco AXP and uses existing Cisco programs,
such as
Cisco Developer Services
and the
Cisco Technology Developer Program
, for the
necessary technical and marketing support for development and distribution of AXP-based
solutions:
●
A partner or customer can be technically enabled for developing new AXP applications
through technical documentation, software development kits (SDKs), developer community
support, training, and technical support.
●
Strategic ISVs can obtain support in their business planning and go-to-market efforts of
AXP-based solutions.
Figure 1. Partnering Models
Developers are typically customers developing and deploying internal applications or larger
managed service providers, systems integrators, or value-added resellers (VARs) who are
developing differentiated applications and typically go to market without Cisco (for example, handle
first-line sales/support including potentially Cisco support).
