Software Adoption and Achieve Successful Outcomes

Why did we make this software purchase? What are we entitled to use? How do we access our entitlements? How do we track our success?

If you’re asking yourself these questions, you’re not alone! The way you buy and consume software has evolved at a rate that challenges even the savviest of organizations. 

According to Gartner’s Moving to a Software Subscription Model, “By 2020, all new entrants and 80% of historical vendors will offer subscription-based business models.” If we take a trip down memory lane and look at how Cisco started to make this change two to three years ago with the decoupling of software from hardware and the introduction of its Enterprise Agreements, we can align that motion with customers struggling to achieve successful outcomes and looking for an accelerated process to help them do so. 

The process of helping customers align their desired outcomes to use cases, mitigate adoption barriers, and achieve successful outcomes is exactly why our Lifecycle Adoption Services team wakes up and goes to work every day. We understand that customers today are constantly challenged with learning new software buying models, delivery techniques, and consumption options. We strive to be their trusted adoption advisor to help them navigate the new model. To put structure behind that guidance, ConvergeOne has developed Lifecycle Adoption Services to help our customers achieve successful outcomes with their Cisco Enterprise Agreements. 

ConvergeOne Lifecycle Adoption Services are a simple way to reduce customers’ time to value realization, increase overall adoption, and eliminate the risk of software becoming shelfware. Our customers experience a 52% increase in software value by utilizing Lifecycle Adoption Services.
