As you say, the Dashboard makes the progress visible and the icons shows clearly what the status is.” Gert Wallin Solution Partner Manager, Alliances “We’ve used the SPP dashboard extensively.

Cisco PublicPresentation ID DevNet Sandboxes “The cost savings of doing self-tests leveraging the Cisco Sandboxes instead of going through external labs are huge. We would have to pay an external lab twice the cost to test 3 of our Collaboration based apps while with the DevNet’s self-testing program we experience about 50% saving!” Michal Grebac Director,Strategic Sales and Marketing; 2Ring “…as compared to the last IVT testing I did in-person, this is already laid out easier than ever before...” Ray Ryan CEO; IQ NetSolutions “One of the big advantages of conducting the self-test was the flexibility to set our own schedule. Lab staff members were readily available, and had the knowledge needed to quickly respond to our questions and concerns.” Kathy Learnan Director, Product Development; ISI Technologies Supported 11 CL Milan 30+ CL Berlin developer.cisco.com
