Case Study: a leading wholesale beverage alcohol distributor simplifies Cisco licensing and reduces costs with Converge Technology Solutions

Wholesale Beverage Distributor Reconfigures Existing Cisco License Agreements and Environment

A leading wholesale beverage alcohol distributor faced challenges with its expensive and cumbersome Cisco Smartnet and Webex licensing agreements. Following a recent acquisition, the company needed to integrate the new entity into its network but was struggling with unpredictable costs, a lack of flexibility, and difficulty justifying the increased spending to its CFO. The company engaged Converge Technology Solutions to address these issues.

Converge Technology Solutions reconfigured the client's existing Cisco Enterprise Agreement and Smartnet terms, streamlining support levels and eliminating underutilized services. This solution provided a simplified, cost-conscious three-year agreement. The results included a significant reduction in overall costs, a more predictable licensing process that supports future growth, and the availability of financing options to preserve cash.
