John Brown’s secret
Delivering technology innovation despite
funding shortfalls.
John’s organization had reached a critical point.
They had identified a number of innovations that would
deliver significant operational advantages, far beyond
piecemeal upgrades. However, John’s needs exceeded
his available budget.
“Recent technology innovations
seemed like they were tailor made
for our needs. However, I couldn’t
justify the budget needed to make
the required upgrades.”
Without a CapEx budget, John had
to find another option. The secret
was Cisco Capital.
‘By financing with Cisco Capital,
we’ve avoided compromise.
We now have the technology we
need in order to meet our customer
demand through operational
improvements, whilst allowing
for growth down the road’.
John’s technology advisor
suggested funding through Cisco
Capital for several reasons:
• Expedited implementation
cycles - by consolidating phased
upgrades into a single, centralized
deployment plan, John is able to
accelerate his operational benefits
and ROI
• Simplified upgrades - by taking
advantage of Cisco Capital’s
flexible upgrade options, he can
plan ahead for future grown and
additional technology needs down
the road
• Responsible asset management by establishing the foundation for
proper equipment disposal now
through the use of leasing, John’s
new Cisco solution responsibly
supports his technical, financial
and enviornmental objectives.
“The longer we would delay this,
the more outdated our technology
would become, and the more
desperate our situation would get.
By taking the initiative now, we’re
not only regaining our operational
efficiency, but also claiming a
distinct competitive advantage.
Cisco provided single-source
expertise for all of John’s needs.
He can now translate technology
innovation into business advantage
with the confidence of knowing
he has the right technology, at the
right time, with the right type of
acquisition strategy.
