+1. This is called Shared Support: Performance Recognition and Metrics
Cisco Shared Support is a performance-based program. The partner's performance is monitored through a set of metrics that: ● Reward partner performance and recognize partner investment ● Measure the partner's ability to manage and troubleshoot effectively Service Request and Return Materials Authorization (RMA) volumes and meet or exceed customer expectations ● Measure the partner's ability to sell services The partner will be measured on the following metrics: Post-sales customer Satisfaction—Conversion rate, Renewal rate—Service Request ratio—RMA unit ratio http://www.cisco.com/en/US/services/ps3844/ps3849/ps3850/service_partner_guide0900aecd8060da93.pdf This means if you open lots of TAC cases and lots of RMAs, if you don't renew the services, your discount next FY will put you out of the business. Life's not easy for Partners.

Shall we schedule it ? However much I'd like to, I'm afraid I can't join in. They measure Tier 1 (direct) partners on the TAC cases that we create, and it influences support pricing if we open 'unneccesary' cases, such as 'RTFM'. (So yes, when their web site sucks and we can't find stuff, or documentation is inconsistent, we actually (indirectly) pay to get the answer).
