Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0

Building a foundation to support a better ordering experience

Many partners complain that Cisco Flex 2.0 plan is too complex to transact, DSAs take too long to come through and it is not always clear which offer is the most suitable one for their customers. Cisco have taken on this feedback and brought out Flex 3.0 – a much simpler offering for both you and your customers.

What’s changed?

With Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0 you can offer your customers:

  • additional calling functionality
  • streamlined transition process
  • simplified quoting and ordering process with fewer buying models
  • consistent offer across cloud, on-premises and hybrid solutions
  • competitive pricing and better-together bundles

Perpetual licences are also no longer available for renewal or new contracts.
