Reduce IT Capital and Operating Budgets with Cisco Smart Care Service
Provides Cisco network monitoring, management and diagnostics in one single support offering.
Cisco Smart Care is a revolutionary new cost saving
support service providing network wide technical support, pro-active
monitoring, assessment and remote repairs
Maximise operational efficiency
A lack of network availability will mean that you are unable
to do business, and this will result in a major loss of revenue.
Research has shown that when networks are down, company productivity
can drop anywhere from 20% to 80%*.
Smart Care improves the uptime, security and performance of the network
through ongoing monitoring and periodic assessments. This helps IT
staff operate more efficiently by reducing the time and effort required
to keep the network running optimally.
Control operational expenses
Lack of technical services coverage is likely to cost you
more, e.g. cost of replacing and repairing parts and lack of visibility
for IT budgeting. Smart Care provides network visibility and
information to efficiently manage and continually improve the network.
Smart Care enables you to foresee potential problems before it can
impact their business.
Extend the life of network assets
Without technical services coverage, you are unable to legally
access software updates which could include enhanced features,
functionality and performance to extend the life of their network. With
Smart Care, you can maintain your network assets in optimal condition
and optimise the return on their network investment.
