Cisco Services
Cisco Services creates value for Cisco customers by delivering lifecycle services that
provide lower total cost of ownership, business agility, and higher availability.
Businesses have expanded their networks not only in size but also in business utility and
strategic value. As network relevance and complexity increases, network support becomes
more important. Cisco Services broadens the traditional support portfolio by adding
architectural and optimization services and providing full support throughout the network
lifecycle. This support helps customers prepare, plan, design, implement, operate, and
ultimately optimize their networks.
Support throughout the network lifecycle helps enable delivery of end-to-end, targeted
solutions that are essential for companies to receive the full benefit that a converged
network can provide. Cisco transfers knowledge at every phase of the lifecycle, helping IT
staffs learn the skills they need to run next-generation converged networks. Adopting the
entire lifecycle approach helps to ensure that networks now and in the future provides the
most value, with less downtime, better security, and with the ability to quickly add new
technologies.
Cisco and its partners have deployed some of the largest and most complex systems in the
world. Based on this experience, Cisco has defined the necessary lifecycle services required
for various customer and technology requirements, delivering tailored services based on
specific needs.
Delivered directly by Cisco and through best-in-class service partners, Cisco Services
maximize business productivity by providing a lower total cost of ownership, business
agility, and higher availability. The Cisco Services lifecycle framework delivers solutions
to meet customers’ current needs and to support migration to the intelligent information
