Editor's Notes
- Let’s start by talking about the shift that’s happening in the market. We all recognize today’s rapid pace of innovation and change and that businesses need to adapt quickly to stay competitive. At the same time, IT environments are becoming more and more complex with complex technologies coming to market, including multi-vendor and hybrid cloud solutions. Sometimes organizations just don't have the talent on staff to handle the complexity. They can’t have the experts in each of the different technology areas they are using to innovate. This is creating a higher demand for services in general. IT organizations are relying more on outside experts to keep up with the pace of innovation and get the most value out of their IT investments.
- Traditional product support models are no longer enough – here’s why. Software has become a critical component of today’s networks. It used to be hardware switches and routers and now some of that technology is moving into the software domain. Software is growing at 6-8% YoY and expected to reach ~$600B by 2021. 1 To reap the desired benefits, they need help with configuring and onboarding their software as well as learning how to take full advantage of its features. According to TSIA, more than 50% of best-in-class cloud players offer premium services to their customers. 2 And from a solutions standpoint, IT organizations are looking for single vendor accountability and support across multi-vendor products and solutions.3 Lastly, the network has become the foundation for today’s business. So, if a core component of the network such as a data center switch is down, all the business applications are down and the organization is losing revenue. Focusing on network uptime is quite different from supporting individual products within a network. These are the things our customer are asking us for today.

- So, what are the challenges organizations face in the context of these market dynamics? Operational costs are increasing with all of this complexity. Just few minutes of downtime is very costly to businesses, so it can’t be tolerated. IT is expected drive business outcomes faster but resources are constrained and more often than not, they lack the expertise to deal with all the complexity IT must drive competitive advantage for the business and is being measured on how well it does that. .
- What all of these high-value services have in common is that they help customers use technology to achieve better business results. In a few minutes, I’ll talk more about how these high-value services build on our industry-leading product support services by adding proactive and prescriptive such as onboarding and personalized service from technology experts. But first, let me talk about the value these services provide and I’ll mention some specific examples. These services help customers: Maximize uptime by accelerating issue resolution to assure business continuity Enhance operations by combining advanced analytics, best practices, and expert guidance for continuous improvement in efficiency and availability Unlock value by leveraging Cisco experts to ease resource constraints and accelerate business results through more effective technology adoption and better technology utilization Let’s make this more real with some examples. 43% faster resolution - A December 2016 Cisco internal study of 10,000 support cases revealed that Solution Support resolves complex issues (on average) 43% faster than product support alone. 70% fewer outages - TS Advantage enabled a large regional bank to resolve issues 3X faster and reduce the number of outages by 70%. 2.6X increased video usage - A global consulting company saw a steady increase in Webex usage and a 264% increase in the number of users who turned on video during their Webex meetings. The increase was achieved during a 90-day trial with a Cisco Designated Services Manager (DSM), which is part of the Software Support premium option. 20% faster customer onboarding - A leading SaaS provider achieved a 20% reduction in the time to onboard new customers in their SaaS solution. Cisco Solution Support for ACI was instrumental in helping them achieve this operational improvement.
- How can we help you unlock value? High-value services. Cisco is aligning with market changes and addressing the increasing demands of IT with its next-generation Technical Services – high-value services. Cisco’s portfolio of high-value services builds on our product support services to deliver proactive and prescriptive service options at the software, solution, and network and entire infrastructure level.

This solution includes software, hardware and service (Solution Support). Network: Technical Services (TS) Advantage provides network-level support for customers who need comprehensive technical support for mission critical networks. SP Advantage is specifically for service providers and provides a high degree of modularity and flexibility to meet cost constraints, with a core set of features that are customizable. Managed Services is Cisco-led managed IT operations for network, collaboration, data center and security operations.
- By leveraging our lessons learned from decades of network leadership, we can help customers unlock value faster, and use IT to achieve real business results. Cisco high-value services go beyond basic product support to deliver proactive and prescriptive services so customers get more value out of their software applications, multivendor solutions, and network investments. Here are some of the key capabilities that span our portfolio. Actionable analytics: We use analytics throughout the portfolio, providing valuable insights through key performance indicators, or KPI metrics. We’ve even added customer benchmarking to TS Advantage, which I’ll talk more about later.

Software Support also includes workflow integration in which software experts help you integrate Cisco software into your business processes and workflows so your users can be more productive.

- Indeed, We are at what may be one of the biggest inflection points in history. By next year, most of the Fortune 1000 will have started a digitization project. In 4 years, three quarters of businesses expect to be fully digital Over the next 5 years, this digitization will knock 4 out of 10 current leaders out of their incumbency. While the overwhelming majority of businesses are beginning digital transformation projects, and we see how disruptive these projects can be, most of these projects will fail. Why? CLICK Because digitizing alone does not guarantee success Only 30% of these digital projects in the Fortune 1000 will be successful. Part of that is because only 25% have a plan for digitization. But the biggest reason digitizing doesn’t bring automatic success is failure to innovate. Expertise and planning for the innovation opportunities that digitization presents to an organizations is critical.

- And the results speak for themselves. 80% reduction in incidents – Software Support. This multinational communications company wanted to increase service availability/uptime and improve WebEx use throughout company. With the help of the Solution Support team, they experienced an 80% reduction in Level 2 help desk tickets related to their Webex deployment. The number of tickets dropped from 128/month to 28/month during their 90-day trial with a Designated Services Manager. They also achieved ~23% increase in hosts from 65K hosts to 80K hosts within one year. 20% faster customer onboarding – Solution Support.

The end result is reduced risk and greater service levels for its customers.
- Networks are the lifeline that connects customers to goods and services, and the effects of downtime can be significant, decreasing productivity, eroding customer confidence, and losing revenue. Our award-winning web support gives customers advance, notification of alerts to proactively address and possibly prevent problems associated with Security Advisories and Field Notices. We sent ~45M mobile push notifications in 2016. For the Cisco Global Service Logistics and Operations organization, overseeing hardware replacement for millions of service contracts ranging anywhere from 2-hour to 10-day delivery requires an acute awareness of potential impacts, such as: Less than desirable customer service levels The inability to respond to frequent changes in the installed base and customer entitlements High investments in extremely slow moving service assets Complex business processes The need for significant manual oversight, and, ultimately, A lack of regional and global coordination With advance hardware replacement available in 186 countries, the Cisco Global Service Logistics & Operations organization delivers over 1M parts annually, managed through a network of over 1300 depots in 132 countries which cumulatively house $11.8B in spare parts inventory. When considering the scale of operations, effective control of resources and downstream and upstream logistics are critical in mitigating risks and has driven the need for new business and operational capabilities enabled, in part, by rapidly advancing technology.
