$US2B+ per year to smooth Cisco's sales path E-mail

In recent months Cisco has significantly increased its channels to the SME market in emerging markets, adding seven specialty distributors and increasing its base of certified channel partners in emerging markets by approximately 20 percent.

Cisco Capital has also expanded coverage of its end-user leasing programs in emerging markets. Cisco Capital recently implemented leasing programs in South Africa, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Along with its regional finance partners, Cisco Capital plans to offer SMB financing capabilities in 14 new countries in FY07, including those in Central America and the Caribbean, plus Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Poland, Argentina and Chile.

Cisco created its Emerging Markets  unit last year "to address the specific local market requirements and unique needs of emerging countries." These regions are undergoing major transformation as they grow and diversify their economies, improve government efficiency, and educate their citizens, and by focusing resources and investment in these regions now, Cisco says it intends to "shape demand and accelerate growth for years to come."{moscomment}
