What Is the Cisco Partner Incentive (CPI)?
The Cisco Partner Incentive (CPI) is the single back-end rebate framework introduced with Cisco 360 in January 2026. It replaced VIP, CSPP, Lifecycle Incentives and Perform Plus, paying across four motions - a Land rebate on contract value, fixed-dollar Adopt milestones, a Growth rebate on year-over-year ACV, and stackable bonuses - gated by the Partner Value Index.
It matters because eligibility, rate bands and the eligible-offers list change frequently, so what a partner earns on the same hardware can shift week to week.
