The Key features and benefits the council expect from a Cisco EA include: • Simplified Management: Combines multiple licences, renewals, and support contracts into a single agreement with one, unified, co-terminated date. • Flexibility & Growth: Includes "True Forward" terms, allowing organisations to deploy software and add users or licences immediately midterm, with payments adjusted only annually. Equally licences can be moved from one device to another. • Cost Control: Provides predictable, fixed pricing on better EA discount rates compared to buying individual licences and built in growth allowances • Visibility: Offers a centralised dashboard for licence management and to track and manage software usage.
