The Global Partner Services Accelerator (GPSA) is the program that scales Cisco’s technical resources

through third-party, services-only partners. This program is designed to provide channel partners

with access to validated expert resources, enabling them to extend their capabilities and reach. The

GPSA helps partners deliver a broader range of services by leveraging Cisco’s extensive technical

knowledge base and support infrastructure1.

The Global Partner Solution Advisors (GPSA) program is designed to enhance the capabilities of

Cisco’s channel partners by providing them with access to expert technical resources. This program

scales Cisco’s technical expertise through third-party, services-only partners, offering hands-on

mentorship and coaching from Cisco’s expert engineers. Partners can submit active customer

opportunities to GPSA, and a dedicated engineer works with the partner’s field engineers to build

their technical practices and skills. This ensures partners can independently support future

opportunities, aligning with Cisco’s strategy to empower its ecosystem.

Cisco U is an educational platform focused on training and certification, not a resource-scaling

program via third-party partners. MINT is not a recognized Cisco program in this context (it might

refer to a typo or unrelated term). Cisco Service is too vague and does not specifically match the

description of a global program for scaling technical resources through third-party partners. GPSA

directly aligns with the question’s focus on validated expert resources for channel partners.

Reference:Cisco’s official documentation on the GPSA program, available through partner portals like

Sales Connect and the GPSA website (gpsa.cisco.com), emphasizes its role in providing no-cost

technical mentorship to partners.
