Collab Systems Release 10 Licensing Update CTG Strategic Pricing and Licensing January 2014
Pricing and Licensing Strategy for FY14 Add Value to Current UC Licensing Solutions Encourage Strategic Collaboration Trends Deliver Simple and Consistent Pricing Methodology Enable Migration between On Premise and Cloud Improve Ease of Doing Business with Cisco Licensing Strategy Overview There are no changes to the structure of Cisco’s licensing, but significant value has been added. Cisco still offers three main licenses – UCL Enhanced, CUWL Standard, and CUWL Pro. Cisco continues to add value to existing offers by adding products and features into the offers at no additional charge. The following are key elements of Cisco’s Collaboration Pricing and Licensing strategy for FY14. Add Value to Current UC Licensing Solutions Maintain market price with increased value Provide features and products customers value Encourage Strategic Collaboration Trends Offer flexibility in voice and video offers including cloud and mobile Deliver Simple and Consistent Pricing Methodology Continue with a consistent user-based bundling strategy Enable Migration between On Premise and Cloud Improve Ease of Doing Business with Cisco Including ordering, UCSS renewal, License Mgmt.
UCL ENHANCED / ENHANCED PLUS Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10 Licensing Summary Maintaining simplicity with added value CUWL PROFESSIONAL CUWL PROFESSIONAL WebEx Conferencing Personal Multiparty CUWL STANDARD CUWL STANDARD Multiple Devices Cisco Unified Messaging UCL ENHANCED / PLUS UCL ENHANCED / ENHANCED PLUS Cisco Prime Collaboration Standard Expressway firewall traversal Support for All Personal Endpoints One / Two Devices Cisco’s licensing structure hasn’t changed since last year, with three main licenses – UCL Enhanced/Enhanced Plus, CUWL Standard, and CUWL Pro. As depicted here, each license builds upon the previous. Note that the elements highlighted in green are updates and additions for Systems Release 10. More details on each of these new features will follow in this deck. Note that the UCL Basic and UCL Essential licenses still exist for more basic needs but aren’t shown here. The main three offers are Cisco’s focus for collaboration workers. Updates and additions to System Release 10 listed in green
UCL ENHANCED / ENHANCED PLUS Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10 Licensing Summary UCL ENHANCED / ENHANCED PLUS First level of licensing for Collaboration users Core components: UC application support for one device (UCL Enhanced) or two devices (UCL Enhanced Plus) per user Support for Cisco’s entire portfolio of personal endpoints Expressway firewall traversal for remote and mobile workers (firewall traversal for IM&P, voice and video within an organization) Cisco Prime Collaboration Standard UCL ENHANCED / PLUS UCL Enhanced list price = $210 per user UCL Enhanced Plus list price = $295 per user UCL Enhanced is the first level licensing for Collaboration users This hasn’t changed from last year’s release. Key features include … UCL Enhanced supports UC applications for one device and UCL Enhanced Plus supports for 2 devices per user Both licenses support Cisco’s entire portfolio of personal endpoints (including all Jabber softclients, IP and video- enabled devices, personal telepresence devices) New for System Release 10 is the inclusion of Expressway for remote and mobile workers, which provides a VPN-less option for IM&P, voice and video firewall traversal within an organization. This enhancement makes users truly mobile. Note that B2B and third-party interop firewall traversal are not included here, but that capacity can be purchased separately. Another addition in System Release 10 is the inclusion of Prime Collaboration Standard licensing management. This is included in CUCM.
Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10 Licensing Summary CUWL STANDARD Most popular licensing for Collaboration users Core Components: All features of UCL Enhanced / Enhanced Plus Including new additions of Expressway firewall traversal and Cisco Prime Collaboration Standard UC application support for more than two devices Cisco’s unified messaging CUWL STANDARD UCL ENHANCED / PLUS CUWL Standard has become Cisco’s most popular licensing for Collaboration users This license includes all features of UCL Enhanced / Enhanced Plus, including the new additions of Expressway and Cisco Prime Collaboration The key differentiators as compared with UCL Enhanced continue to be … UC application support for more than two devices Cisco’s unified messaging, or Cisco Unity Connection CUWL Standard list price = $325 per user
Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10 Licensing Summary CUWL PROFESSIONAL CUWL PROFESSIONAL Most comprehensive licensing for Collaboration users Core Components: All features of CUWL Standard and UCL Enhanced / Enhanced Plus One named user license for WebEx on-premise AND 1-year subscription for WebEx in the cloud One named user license for Personal Multiparty, to host 4-party video conferences CUWL STANDARD UCL ENHANCED / PLUS The third and final main software bundle is CUWL Pro, which is the most comprehensive license option As you can see here, this includes all features of CUWL Standard and UCL Enhanced / Enhanced Plus. Again, this structure has not changed since last year. There are two key differentiators we’ll discuss as compared with CUWL Standard… The first, is the enhancements made to the WebEx Conferencing component of CUWL Pro licensing. Although WebEx is included in CUWL Pro today, the offer has changed in two significant ways. First, the named user license replaces the existing ratio of ports per user. So instead of one WebEx port for every 10 CUWL Pro licenses, as it is today, the offer includes one named user for each CUWL Pro license. Secondly, the offer is updated to include both the perpetual, on-premises license of WebEx Meeting Server (or CWMS) AND the one-year cloud subscription for WebEx Meetings Center. The second significant enhancement in CUWL Pro is the addition of the named user license for Personal Multiparty. For each CUWL Pro user license, one named host is entitled to host ad-hoc multiparty meetings with up to three additional parties, using a personalized contact address. This is included with CUWL Pro and can also be purchased a la carte to complement lower levels of licensing. CUWL Professional list price = $500 per user
Enhanced Plus / Enhanced Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10 Licensing Summary Personal Multiparty Personal Multiparty + N/A WebEx Conferencing Unity Connection Expressway firewall traversal Jabber UC Jabber IM/P Cisco Prime Collaboration # of Devices Supported Multiple Two / One One CUWL Professional Standard UCL Enhanced Plus / Enhanced Basic Essential Price $500 $325 $295 / $210 $125 $40 Allows for up to 4 parties in a video conference; included in CUWL Pro WebEx Conferencing One Named User license for both WebEx Meeting Center (1 year) AND WebEx Meetings Server; included in CUWL Pro Expressway firewall traversal Firewall traversal for voice and video; included in UCL Enhanced & above ------------------------- Firewall traversal for IM&P; included with all UCM licenses CPE & Hosted CPE & Hosted Cisco Prime Collaboration Cisco Prime Collaboration Standard; included with CUCM = included w/ license This license overview should look familiar. Last year, a similar graphic was used to depict Cisco licensing, and that structure hasn’t changed. We use this graphic to show more of the details in each license offer. Note that the check marks represent what’s included in the user license, while the plus signs are a la carte options that have additional costs. Again, perpetual pricing has not changed. The list prices shown here have remained constant while Cisco has added products and functionality to the licenses. More details of each enhancement can be found in following slides. While the focus for collaboration users is on the three main licensing levels, Cisco realizes that our customers still need to provision simple phones to put in public spaces or shared use environments. Essential and Basic provide licensing for those scenarios where customers still need to enable endpoints for places, not people. Examples include: conference rooms, lobbies, quiet rooms and fax machines. + = optional add-on N/A = not available w/ license

Collab EA Cisco Enterprise Agreement for Collaboration
Overview of Enterprise Agreement Software and services rights for entire organization in single, co-terminated, multi-year agreement Suites include access to software, upgrade subscriptions (UCSS) and technical support (ESW) Hardware excluded Minimum number of knowledge workers is 2,000 Limited to authorized regions Price takes into account customers’ previous investments in Cisco collaboration products Previously procured perpetual licenses and the residual value of UCSS/ESW are factored into pricing Fixed cost over the length of the contract based on # of knowledge workers at time of purchase Customer has unlimited applications and services consumption over the term of the agreement without financial true-ups due to growth License rights include unlimited organic growth as well as inorganic growth (mergers and acquisitions) up to 20% The Cisco Enterprise Agreement for Collaboration, or Collab EA, provides software deployment and services consumption rights for the entire organization in a single co-terminated, multi-year agreement. Under the Collab EA, each suite includes enterprise-wide access to software, upgrade subscriptions, or UCSS, and technical support, or ESW. Note that hardware is excluded from the Collab EA and must be purchased separately. At least 2,000 knowledge workers are required to qualify for the Collab EA. Please leverage your EA BDM [voice: letters B,D,M] or Licensing Executive if you have potential opportunities you’d like reviewed. [click] Along with the number of knowledge workers, the Collab EA takes customers’ previous investments in Cisco collaboration products into account. Previously procured on-premise licenses and the residual value of the UCSS and ESW are factored into pricing, so customers do not pay twice, depicted here by the reduction in the knowledge workers by the existing installed base. The cost of the Enterprise Agreement is fixed over the length of the contract agreement, based on the number of knowledge workers at the time of purchase. The customer then has unlimited applications and services consumption over the term of the agreement without any financial true-ups due to growth. License rights include unlimited organic growth, as well as inorganic growth, such as mergers and acquisitions, up to 20%. Customer term lengths can be 3 or 5 years. Note that periodic payment options are available through Cisco capital to meet customers’ budget needs and align with their deployment requirements.

As noted here, many are new to the market in FY14. Please contact your EA BDM or Licensing Executives if you have potential opportunities you’d like reviewed.
Overview of Enterprise Agreement Authorized Collab EA Geographies (as of Q1FY14) To qualify for a Collab EA, the transaction must take place in one of these authorized Collab EA countries and transacted through a Collab EA-authorized partner. Companies with global workforces can deploy on a worldwide basis, as long as their Collab EA transaction occurs in one of these authorized geographies. Cisco is constantly expanding authorized geographies, so please contact your Collab EA BDM or Licensing Executive for the most current listing of authorized Collab EA countries. Americas EMEAR APJC
