About the 700-826 exam
700-826 IOTAM is Cisco's IoT Essentials exam for account managers who sell Cisco Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. It checks knowledge of three areas: Cisco's IoT portfolio, Extended Enterprise technology and Cisco Industry Solutions. Its objectives ask candidates to explain and describe, so the exam tests product knowledge and positioning rather than device setup.
The PlanetCert practice test gives the most questions to Cisco IoT Portfolio, the heaviest domain, and many of them ask what a product does. Every answer has an explanation, which helps most when two products seem to fit the same need. Flashcard Mode suits the product names and their uses. Brainy AI Assistant can explain how an Extended Enterprise solution differs from an industry solution, or write a new question about the same use case.
How to earn the certification
How to prepare for 700-826
- 1
Map the IoT portfolio first
Cisco IoT Portfolio carries the most weight. List each product family, what it does and one customer use for it, then keep the list beside every study session.
- 2
Know the IoT support resources
The portfolio domain includes support resources. Learn where a customer or a partner finds product documentation, technical support and training for Cisco IoT products.
- 3
Sort sites into Extended Enterprise
Practise naming the spaces outside the office where Extended Enterprise solutions apply, such as warehouses and yards. For each one, note how far the customer has come with IoT and the feature that matters most.
- 4
Build one story per industry
For each Cisco Industry Solution, write the customer type, the business benefit and one use case. The Industry Solutions domain asks for exactly these three points.
- 5
Close with timed practice
Run the 700-826 practice test in Timed Mode once each domain feels solid. Review every miss and ask Brainy AI Assistant why the chosen product did not fit the use case.
