“The Cisco Enterprise Agreement has allowed us to be very agile. It is the cornerstone of how we can secure the future of our centres and be able to be agile and flexible to make adjustments, as we need them and how our industry is evolving. For more information about the Cisco Enterprise agreement, please visit www.cisco.com/go/ea or contact your Cisco Account Manager. Cisco Enterprise Agreement is a company-wide centralized software purchase program. By simplifying the Cisco software experience, an EA creates a framework for different Cisco architectures using uniform conditions and makes Cisco software licensing simple and fluid for your business.

Instead, your growth payment (if any after an allowance) will be revised at the beginning of the next billing period and will continue for the rest of the duration of the suite. Easy to Consume: True Forward: no retroactive compensation. Fixed prices: Prices for purchased products are frozen for the duration of the EA.
