Technical consulting specialist Vortex 6 is releasing the latest version of software that helps IT leaders deal with non-compliance.

The updates to V6 Fusion aim to reduce complexity and increase profitability for organisations taking part in the Cisco Partner Program.

"We have been working with Cisco for many years and we completely understand how to help partners get maximum benefit," said Peter Olive, managing director of Vortex 6.

The new Cisco Partner Program was announced earlier this year and Olive said it brings significant change and added complexity.

Partners must understand the new rules quickly, as falling out of compliance affects business performance.

V6 Fusion has a planning capability that shows partners the shortest route to compliance, with potential time savings of 99% in comparison to manual processes.

The update version of the software includes a graphical dashboard that shows current partner status, along with other key information, such as required actions, costs involved and deadlines to meet.

Partners can also use V6 Fusion to book training and exams, generate reports, and understand their certification status.

V6 Fusion can be accessed through any PC connected to the internet and is available either as a flexible license or a managed service.
