Cisco Enterprise Agreement Introduction

Cisco Enterprise Agreements are contracts that cover all of the software under a technology vertical within the Cisco portfolio.

Put simply, if your business has a lot of Cisco Security platforms deployed, you can license all of this software under one single agreement rather than having many different contracts with varying renewal dates. Cisco Enterprise Agreements are either three-year or five-year contracts.

Nurture

Once the Enterprise Agreement is in place, we work with you to map out those business objectives that lead to the Enterprise Agreement. At a minimum, you’re guaranteed to have a quarterly review for the life of the Enterprise Agreement term. This review is where we highlight trends, help identify any gaps that are slowing down adoption, share future roadmap details and help you trial new technologies that within your Enterprise Agreement suite.
