Cisco Maintenance

The Cisco support alternative for you

No matter your job title, if you oversee technology decisions in your company, you have a lot of responsibilities.

Your job is to use your investments to deliver the best computing infrastructure that also saves your organization budget money - you’re expected to do it all!

And that includes your investment in Cisco support - so how do you get the most out of Smart Net Total Care?

There's only so much you can do with the fixed rates of Smart Net.

Lucky for you, CXtec offers a quality maintenance and support solution that keeps your spending to a minimum and allows you to deliver quality in every investment you make.

Using a third-party maintenance solution (TPM) is a strategic and well-established way to lower OPEX costs while still getting the quality coverage you need.

If you’re looking for a perfect TPM program, look no further. CXtec's RapidCare® program is the solution that offers you everything the competitors don’t and more.

Here’s what RapidCare can do for you:

• Optimal Cisco hardware support

• Right-sized customizable support strategies

• Reduce OPEX costs by up to 60%

• Freedom to extend product life cycles

• Flexible, consolidated contracts

What makes RapidCare TPM different than OEM programs like Smart Net Total Care (SMARTnet)?
