Navigating Cisco solutions can feel complex, but TD SYNNEX empowers partners with innovative tools that simplify and streamline operations. From staying ahead of Last Day of Support (LDOS) deadlines to managing Cisco quotes and orders effortlessly, these tools turn challenges into opportunities for growth. In the latest “Did You Know?” videos, TD SYNNEX Product Manager Sean McCaskie highlights two standout resources: the EDGE Focus Tool and the Stellr platform, both designed to help partners thrive in their Cisco strategies.
Did You Know There’s a Last Day of Support (LDOS) for Cisco Solutions?
When a Cisco solution reaches its Last Day of Support (LDOS), it’s more than just a technical expiration date—it creates costly vulnerabilities that put a business’ continuity at potential risk. McCaskie highlighted the importance of staying proactive: “You get no new updates, limited technical assistance, and even compatibility concerns with future technology.” Rather than fostering uncertainty, McCaskie advocates for awareness and preparation through tools like the award-winning, TD SYNNEX EDGE Focus Tool.
The EDGE Focus Tool empowers partners by providing clear visibility into upcoming LDOS dates for Cisco solutions. This proactive approach enables businesses to plan for seamless transitions, ensuring their technology remains aligned with the latest innovations. “You can make informed decisions about upgrading or migrating to alternative solutions, so you’re not stuck in a time capsule of technology,” McCaskie proclaimed. With EDGE Focus, staying ahead of LDOS deadlines becomes a strategic advantage.
Did You Know About TD SYNNEX Stellr for Cisco?
Managing Cisco quotes and orders doesn’t have to be a daunting task. “You could just use the TD SYNNEX Stellr Cisco annuities dashboard,” McCaskie emphasized. “It will help you map everything out, and it will sort of help you see what’s next.” Once a Cisco annuity order has been placed, all the details of the subscription can be found on the dashboard. The platform is designed to increase visibility of the process, allowing partners to monitor everything from start/end dates to auto-renewals and invoicing information.
But Stellr isn’t just about simplifying your current operations—it’s also a powerful tool for the future. By offering insights into past orders and pricing agreements, Stellr helps partners make informed decisions and strategically plan their Cisco solutions. “The platform tracks and streamlines all of your Cisco annuity business, providing quick visibility so you don’t have to theorize on important information and opportunities,” McCaskie shared.
TD SYNNEX continues to prioritize helping partners navigate the complexities of Cisco solutions with tools like EDGE Focus and Stellr. These innovative resources not only simplify operations but also provide the insights and support needed to stay ahead of challenges and seize new opportunities. By leveraging these tools, partners can ensure their Cisco strategies are always future-ready. Now You Know!
