Generate new revenue opportunities with Technology Refresh assessments
For Cisco Partners, the challenge today is completing network assessments quickly, comprehensively, and efficiently to uncover new opportunities that drive revenue and equip customers with networks that evolve with their changing needs. What many find during their first Netformx AssetXpert™ assessment is just how simple and effective it is to achieve both goals.
AssetXpert doesn’t just perform broad network assessments—its co-pilot capabilities provide clear guidance on where to dig deeper. It identifies areas requiring attention, such as enabling SNMP for further device discovery, and pinpoints specific actions to gather more detailed insights across the network.
The platform delivers a wealth of actionable information, far beyond the basics. In addition to LDOS details, AssetXpert identifies issues like Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) needing replacement—such as faulty power supplies—and highlights constrained devices that limit expansion. It even provides configuration best practices to optimize network performance.
Focusing on the IT Enterprise Sector
For those working with the Enterprise Sector, the opportunity is twofold: not only can you generate revenue from technology refresh initiatives, but you can also take advantage of the Customer Assessment Incentive (CAI). The CAI offers a $7,500 reward for qualified registered opportunities of $100K or more—just remember to register the assessment plan in SIRE before starting the process to ensure eligibility.
Specializing in the IT Public Sector
If your focus is on the Public Sector, while the CAI reward does not apply, the revenue-generating opportunities remain significant. In both cases, partners are uncovering new service offerings thanks to the deep insights AssetXpert delivers.
Facilitating impactful conversations about network optimization
The comprehensive reports generated by AssetXpert give you the tools to have more impactful conversations with customers—discussing how to improve security, optimize performance, and prepare their networks to scale as their business grows. It’s a win-win: new revenue for you and a stronger, future-ready network for your customers.
