SmarTrak.ai sets path for Cisco partners looking for growth, margins, and sustainability, Podcast “…Put the real action in the word actionable…” SmarTrak.ai is taking AI, and applying it to the challenges Cisco #Partners face. The good news is that Cisco provides a great deal of customer data. Everything partners need to know for their next steps is there. But the skill sets, and time, needed to use that data effectively," are limited. “We take all these sources of data, compiling them into one location, do that analysis and present back sales opportunities from renewals, tech refresh, sustainability, instantly for every single one of their accounts," says Ted Lee of SmarTrak.ai. In this podcast, Lee outlines how SmarTrak is using AI to help Cisco Partners only understand what products and services are coming up for renewal, but also provide a comprehensive path to refreshing the mix of products and services being deployed, figuring out how to save power and achieve greater sustainably. These insights help the partner guide the customer to improved productivity. “What we're trying to do is put the real action in the word actionable.” “When customers and partners see this data in SmarTrak.ai, they realize, oh my gosh, this is going to save me hours of time for every single one of my customers,” adds Lee. In this podcast we also learn how SmarTrak.ai works on the other partner challenge: human resources. Not only is it difficult to wade through the level of data that Cisco can provide, it’s also a challenge to develop people with the training to see in those numbers the opportunities and changes that should be recommended. SmarTrak simplifies this process by showing actual options and choices that an associate can offer a customer. It’s like hiring a research assistant for every customer facing representative. We learn that the labor intensive projects of, “…pulling down spreadsheets, sending it, putting it in Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, you name it, wherever they're storing this stuff, highlighting spreadsheets…”, are eliminated. An AI assisted, streamlined approach, renders accurate insight and does so quickly. "Their most junior representative, or administrator, in the company, to their most senior, seasoned, trained executive and engineers, have the same level of access to information, instantly, for every single one of their accounts."

As consumers, we often admire companies that create innovative, high-quality products that make our lives easier. However, it's also important to consider the effort and sacrifices made by the people who work for those companies. Recently, it was reported that Samsung is employing a six-day work week for its executives to overcome near-term challenges. While it's understandable that companies need to work harder to overcome obstacles, it's concerning that Samsung's leadership hasn't considered different approaches. Let's hope that Samsung takes a step back and reconsiders the work-life balance of its people and looks at alternate ways to overcome their challenges.

As part of our Airband Initiative, we have been dedicated to closing the broadband gap in the U.S., where over 23 million people still lack reliable internet. Airband partners have brought the power of broadband access to over 7.4 million people in rural America. And, as a country, we’ve made significant progress with every state, including Puerto Rico and D.C., reporting increases in broadband-connected households. Five of the states and territories with the most significant improvements in connectivity account for an additional 581,000 households gaining internet access. We have also updated the Microsoft Digital Equity Data Dashboard with new data from the Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Census Bureau, Code.org, and BroadbandNow. Accurate mapping offers crucial insights into local broadband gaps, helping policymakers make data-driven decisions. The Airband initiative is not just about connectivity - it's about creating opportunities and empowering communities. By continuing to leverage innovative technologies and advocating for supportive policies that expand broadband access, communities are gaining access to education, healthcare, high-quality jobs, and entrepreneurial opportunities. As we strive to connect 250 million people globally by the end of next year, we hope to bring the transformative power of digital connectivity to everyone.
