Mentored Install Network Training (MINT)

Consider Housley as a MINT Service Partner across any or all stages of the technology lifecycle:

Presales, PoV, Install, Migration & Training

Housley is a Mentored Install Network Training (MINT) partner, authorised by Cisco to provide Cisco Channel Partners with access to validated expert resources who can lead and work on mentored proof of value (PoV) and mentored install engagements for technologies across the Cisco portfolio. Partners can minimise risk and drive immediate value for customers and maximise the opportunity for successful technology adoption of Cisco deployments.  During the install process, partner / customer teams learn best practice and gain hands-on experience with Cisco’s latest technologies under the guidance of a qualified Housley mentor. How does the MINT Service scoping and ordering work? Contact Housley to arrange a high-level scoping call to define and produce a Level of Effort document and Mint SKU quote.
