Steps to Register as a Cisco Partner and Set up Additional Personnel

If you are not already a registered Cisco Partner, complete Step 1 and Step 2 to set up your access to the Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) tool. Please refer to the attached Step-by-Step Guide to access Partner Self Service where you will find the User Guide and other helpful links.

Step 1: Become a Cisco Registered Partner

  1. Apply for a Cisco.com (CCO) user ID at www.cisco.com/go/register. Your CCO ID must be 30 characters or fewer.
  2. Apply to the Registered Partner Program
    1. Login with your Cisco.com (CCO) user ID and password.
    2. Select your country of registration.
    3. Select "Register my Company" (have the following information ready).
      • Country headquarters address
      • Headquarters phone number
      • Company administrator information
      • VAT identification number (required for European Union companies)
      • DUNS® number (Optional)

After you have completed the registration form, you will receive notification of your acceptance as a Cisco Registered Partner within 24 hours. As a Registered Partner, you will be granted Partner-level access to Cisco.com and will be eligible to participate in the Cisco Channel Partner Program.

Step 2: Associate People with your Company

  • Use Partner Self-Service (PSS) to manage your company set up
  • Everyone in your company must have their own CCO ID to use CCW.
  • Your PSS Partner Admin must associate each CCO ID with your company. The person who registers first is by default the PSS Admin, but you may assign that role to whomever you want.

If you don't know who your partner administrator is and you want to ask them to approve your access, go to Partner Self-Service and select Contact Management.

Select Option 2, Search contacts by Demographics. Enter your Company Name and Country. Under Contact Access Roles, Select PSS Partner App Admin, and click "Search".
