What Is the Cisco Partner Value Index (PVI)?
The Cisco Partner Value Index (PVI) is a 0–10 score Cisco calculates per portfolio across four categories - Foundational, Capabilities, Performance and Engagement. It determines a partner's designation and rebate eligibility under Cisco 360: a threshold score unlocks the portfolio designation and CPI rebates, and a higher score unlocks Preferred status and richer rate bands.
It matters because the PVI is recalculated continuously across six portfolios, so a partner can quietly fall out of rebate eligibility in one while healthy in another.
