Networking Partner Value Index
The Networking Partner Value Index was released in February 2025 and it is available in PXP. These are the components that make up the index, the weight they carry towards scoring and what impacts that score.
Networking Value Index (weighted average)
Each category, such as foundational, capabilities, performance and engagement, is given a weight. Additional metrics are weighted within each category.
After calculating individual points against each of these metrics, Cisco calculates the overall value index, which is a weighted average of all these points.
