Cloud / SaaS Quoting, Ordering, Change Subscriptions, and Invoicing Distribution Partner December 2015 Please display slide 1 as everyone is logging on to the call. Good morning/afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining our Cloud/SaaS training session. The session will last approximately 60 minutes. My name is XXXXX and I will be taking you through this training today.
All names and data contained in this deck are simulated and non-factual. Learn: SaaS at a high level. Operational benefits of SaaS for Customers, Partners, and Sellers. How to create a quote and order in CCW for SaaS. How to change subscriptions and view invoices for SaaS. Before we jump into the training content, I wanted to provide some background on the SaaS Program. This session is intended to Distribution partners that order directly from Cisco and work with 2-Tier partners. We’ll cover what SaaS is at a high level, as well as some of the benefits to customers, partners, and sellers. We’ll then spend the bulk of our time on how to use the CCW tool for quoting and ordering SaaS as well as managing your subscription and seeing your invoice post-order.
Agenda 1 2 3 4 5 6 SaaS Program Overview Create Quotes in CCW Create Orders in CCW 3 Change Subscriptions in CCW 4 View Invoices in CCW & SFTP 5 Support 6 We will begin with a high level introduction to SaaS, and then walk you through using CCW to quote, order, change subscriptions, access invoicing, and get support.
SaaS Program Overview Before we dive into the actual ordering tool, let’s conduct a high level overview of the SaaS Program at Cisco
Software Operations Transformation Needs Research Source Market to Demand Lead to Opportunity Idea to Offer 1. Pre-sales Simplicity Thousands of SKUs simplified down to a few top-level offers Dynamic configuration tool to easily choose/configure options Purchase Receive Quote to Order Fulfill to Activation/ Provision Use Monitor to Usage 2. Billing Flexibility and Transparency Ability to choose between pre-pay and monthly billing options Usage and overage information clearly called out Customer and Partner Experience Pay Maintain Repurchase Renewal to Retention Issue to Resolution Invoice to Cash 3. Ongoing Ease of Doing Business One tool for quoting, configuring, provisioning, ordering, and managing subscriptions Retirement of legacy platforms SaaS is part of Cisco’s larger Software Operations Transformation program. As we continue, I will provide more detail, but at a high-level this initiative will provide, among other things, pre-sales simplicity, flexible and transparent billing options, and an easier, streamlined ordering experience.
What is SaaS? Software-as-a-Service defined A Software application delivered and managed as a service by Cisco (cloud provider) or a partner (cloud enabler). Instead of acquiring the software as a license to run its own systems, the customer accesses the application/service through the internet (cloud). Traditionally, software has been sold in the same manner as hardware. You purchase the software, purchase the license, then install and consume it on your own machine. Software as a Service (SaaS) takes software and delivers it to an end user via the internet, or, the cloud. Some example include: Email – traditional model was to have a desktop client (ie Outlook); SaaS model is Gmail Word processing – traditional model was to install Word on your PC; SaaS model is Office 365 or Google Drive/Google Docs
Features and Benefits: Traditional v. SaaS Traditional Model SaaS Model Immediate ROI. “Pay as you grow” Operating expense (more flexible) Minimal integration and implementation cost and risk No annual maintenance/support costs No upgrade deployment costs Software paid up front Capital expense (less flexible) Longer/costly integration and implementation expense & risk Annual maintenance/support costs Upgrade deployment costs Highlight in particular – the SaaS model allows for: Ability to pay-as-you-grow Increased flexibility due to OpEx model vs. CapEx Reduced costs related to implementation and maintenance
Moving to SaaS – Procurement Changes SaaS Model Traditional Model Feature Impact Benefit Number of SKUs drastically reduced Fewer SKUs for you to know, track and manage. - Simpler, easier, and more intuitive configuration and order methodology. - More flexible terms and pricing. - Dynamically change usage and service attributes as needed. Provisioning in CCW instead of manual process Instead of provisioning after the order is placed, creating delays, provisioning details are gathered at the time of order. - Automatic and faster provisioning of order, 72 hours after order is fulfilled. Quoting, configuring, ordering, invoicing and renewals via CCW One seamless and integrated process instead of multiple, separate tools and methods. - Reduced quoting, configuration, order, invoicing and renewal transaction errors. - Faster lookup and response to order history, invoicing and renewals inquiries. Flexible billing options (recurring, auto- renewal, usage-based) Avoid the need for leases (application, credit assessment, approval cycle) to provide flexible payment options. - Greater flexibility for billing/invoicing on customer’s terms. - Set and forget auto-renewals Overall, we are moving to a simpler, faster, and more flexible platform Highlight the following: Fewer SKUs – you no longer have to sort through an extensive list of SKUs to find what you want to order; instead, configure one of only a few top-level SaaS SKU based on your specfications Faster provisioning – instead of provisioning taking place after an order is placed, provisioning has now been built into the ordering process and will be complete 72 hours after an order is fulfilled Flexible billing, renewal, and usage options – choose between different billing options, including the ability to be billed monthly, or to set auto-renewals

Many different offers are available in different capacity and renewal terms. You now have the ability to use one top level SKU to configure a variety of services. In the past, we would need a separate SKU for each individual configuration, even if they were similar to an existing SKU. Instead of having to use separate SKUs for a 25-person capacity or a 200-person capacity, you can now use the same top-level SKU and configure it to your needs. *Cap = the max per meeting attendee capacity 17
Procurement Methodology – What’s Changing? Quoting Ordering Subscription Management Invoicing Dynamic offer configurations – supports all SaaS offers and drastically reduces number of SKUs Dynamic pricing – configure based on attributes (quantity, terms, pre-pay and auto renewal options) Easy quote-to-order conversion Transactions Auto-provisioning is enabled for multiple products (including WebEx and Spark today) Quicker turnaround on site availability Each offer has pre-defined provisioning rules to help guide you through your configuration Provisioning Manage subscriptions directly in CCW – including processing change subscriptions easily and viewing usage data Flexible options allowing for no-touch auto renewals or initial term only (no renewal) based on what fits your needs Management/Renewals Billing & Metering – periodic payment options (monthly, prepaid) Usage and overages will also be included Invoicing We have talked a lot about why we are moving towards SaaS, but to summarize, we can look at 4 key phases. Transactions: Current state: A very large number of SKUs and complex ordering methodology Future state: Using fewer SKUs and allow for dynamic configuration. More flexible terms/pricing Provisioning Current state: provisioning details gathered after order is placed. Long duration of time between order placement and actual provisioning Future state: provisioning details gathered at time of order, then automatically provisioned 72 hours after order is fulfilled Subscription Management You can manage your subscriptions directly in CCW, including viewing usage details Invoicing & Renewals: Both are new for SaaS/Subscription Billing. You’ll have the option to bill/invoice on flexible terms, and will have an option for overages and auto-renewals.
SaaS – Partner Flow Quoting & Ordering Partner Action CCW Talk to end customer to define order requirements and service needs Share Quote and Service Description agreement with end customer Get agreement from end customer to move forward Use Provisioning Job Aid to acquire provisioning details from end customer Partner Action Quote & Configure services in CCW – configure based on what the customer wants Submit quote in CCW and share with Distributor Submit order to Distributor *Share completed provisioning job aid with Distributor CCW Distributor Action Quote & Configure services in CCW – configure based on what the customer wants Submit quote in CCW and share with Distributor Distributor enters provisioning information and submits order in CCW We’ll take a quick look at how you’ll interact with your 2-Tier partners, end customer, and the CCW tool throughout the process, starting with Quoting & Ordering and through Subscription Management and Invoicing. The 2-Tier partner will start out by talking to the end customer to understand what they want. They can either create the quote and share it with you, or you can create the quote on their behalf in CCW. The 2-Tier partner will share the service description and license agreement with the end customer, and also work with them to populate the provisioning job aid. Once they have the end customer’s provisioning details, the 2-Tier partner will share the job aid with you, the Disti, to submit the order in CCW.
SaaS – Partner Flow Subscription Management & Invoicing Partner Action Send Invoice to Customer on a monthly basis Monitor usage and communicate with customer to see if changes are needed If auto-renewal option is not selected, share renewal with Disti Partner Action Perform Upsells / Downsells in CCW and share with Distributor CCW/ SFTP Distributor Action Access invoices in CCW (pdf) or SFTP folder (pdf/csv/xml) Send invoice to 2-Tier partner Submit Upsell / Downsell in CCW Submit Renewal order in CCW You can access invoices directly in CCW, or you can set up the secure folder to use for different formats Monitor usage and overages and talk to the customer for potential changes, and transact any changes in CCW
Quoting in CCW Now that we have completed a high level overview of the SaaS program model and the changes in CCW, let’s dive into how we create a quote in CCW This is typically a big part of the pre-sale process. [pause for questions]
SaaS – Transactional and Operational Process Quoting Ordering Subscription Management Invoicing Quickly create quotes and estimates for your customers, easily convert to an a order. Smaller volume of SKUs to manage, guided configuration rules, and auto-filled information. Easily to add more users or new product offerings to your existing subscriptions. Utilize existing non-standard processes to gain approvals for flexible quantities, terms, and pricing (share quote and configuration easily with others). Note that the “Create Configuration” tool in CCW is going away in favor of “Create Estimate” Quoting and Configuration End customer would like for all 500 of their employees to have access to schedule & host meetings, send/receive Spark messages, etc., but isn’t sure exactly how many will utilize the WebEx services. Monthly billing has been specified as the preferred billing option. Scenario One key item to call out is that the Create Configuration functionality is going away in favor of Create Estimates. For this training, we will Create a Quote in CCW. We’ll start out by sharing a potential scenario to mimic what an end customer would be looking for In this case, they want for all 500 employees in their organization to have access to WebEx and Spark, and would like to be billed monthly. For purposes of this training, we’ll go ahead and create the quote on behalf of the 2-Tier Partner. Let’s dive into using CCW to create this quote.
CCW Quote Create Quote Access CCW using the following link: https://apps.cisco.com/Commerce/home In the Deals & Quotes dropdown, click Create Quote. 1 1 1 This training session will assume prior knowledge and familiarity with basic CCW capabilities In the interest of time, we will very quickly go over the basic CCW features and focus our time on the components that are new/exclusive to Cloud/SaaS. To create a Quote in CCW, go to the Deals and Quotes dropdown and select Create Quote
CCW Quote Populate Required Fields to Create Quote Populate all required fields as per the standard CCW process and click Create Deal. Enter “About the Deal” information as directed and click Save and Continue to proceed. 1 2 1 This is standard CCW quoting Submit your partner and customer details as indicated. 2
CCW Quote Add a WebEx SKU 9 The following slides and screenshots are specific to ordering WebEx Spark offers. For other offers, please refer to offer-specific Ordering Guides. Type in the entire SKU and click Add. Note: SaaS SKUs are hidden and will not be auto-populated. SKU is added to the Quote. A warning triangle will display advising you to configure. Select your Buy Method. Click Select Options to configure your SaaS offer. 1 1 2 3 2 4 4 3 This is where things start to change for Cloud/SaaS We will type in a SaaS SKU in box 1. (Refer to slide 9 for a list of SKUs - there is a hyperlink at the bottom right corner of the slide to jump back and forth.) The WebEx SKUs will be hidden in the system, meaning they will not autocomplete, so we have to type out the entire SKU. Click “Add” to add to your quote. Please also note the red warning triangle around Box 2. This indicates that the SKU is not properly configured (in this specific case, not configured at all). If not already selected, select your Buy Method. Click Select Options to configure the offer – this will break us out to what we call the dynamic config screen. 9
CCW Quote Dynamic Configuration: Terms & Payments 1 Click the calendar icon and choose a Start Date. Select the Initial Term. Select the Auto Renewal Term. Select your preferred Billing Model option. The available options may vary by offer. Note: Configuration options will vary by offer type and may vary by country. Guided messaging is available to help you with the configuration. To make a selection outside of what is shown, please contact your AM and follow the Non-Standard Deal Approval process. 2 3 4 2 1 3 4 We are now in the Dynamic Config tool. The left side of the page is the navigation pane and the right side is where you fill in the information required. As you update the right side, the left hand pane will update. In this training session, we will focus on the tool itself rather than the offers. For offer specific questions and clarification, please refer to the ordering guide or talk to your PDM/AM. Please keep in mind that any quote that can be configured using this tool will be considered a standard deal. Selections outside these boundaries will be considered non-standard and you will have to work with your AM. There are multiple Billing Model options, including prepaid term, monthly, quarterly, and annual billing. Note that not all offers will have each option available.
CCW Quote Dynamic Configuration: Spark Meet with WebEx 1 Click Spark Meet with WebEx. Enter number of employees. Select the Spark Meet Option. Enter number of users to see list price. Overage will default into configuration. To remove, click the Trash Can icon. Select Video Meeting Type. Enter number of users to see the price and add to configuration. Note: As you make selections on the right, your configuration builds on the left. 2 3 4 2 5 1 3 6 7 4 5 6 Once again, in order to make this guide more interactive and less repetitive, let’s not focus on the details of each offer configuration. (e.g. Don’t try to define meeting center vs enterprise edition; quickly walk through the steps shown on the slide.) Make a special callout to box 5 – note that overages are automatically added for meeting attendees. To remove overages, use the trash can icon to the right side of box 5. 7
CCW Quote Dynamic Configuration: WebEx Storage Add On 1 Click WebEx Storage Add On. 50 GB is included by default for Active User. Enter the amount of additional storage to add to the configuration. Storage Overage in enabled by default; click the Trash Can icon to remove. 2 3 2 4 1 3 4 [Continue walking through the configuration details as listed on the slide deck] Note that this offer (Active User) comes with 50 GB of storage. Some offers come with 10GB – this will vary by offer. Additional storage is in increments of 50 GBs Similarly to attendees, storage overage is enabled by default. Use the trash icon to remove. Also, notice that the Subtotal value we see on the bottom left of the screen in the Configuration Summary is dynamically updating as we select new options.
CCW Quote Dynamic Configuration: WebEx Audio Add On 1 Click WebEx Audio Add On. To add Event Center Audio Broadcast to the configuration, click the Plus icon. Select an option from the Additional Audio Types and continue to configure your offer. 2 3 2 1 3 Continue walking through the configuration details as listed on the slide deck
CCW Quote Dynamic Configuration: True-Up Billing 1 Select from Committed, Uncommitted, or True- Up billing. Note: True Up billing is not available for all offers. True-Up Billing allows you to be billed based on the difference between the committed value set at time of order, and the sum of the accumulated invoice during your true-up term based on actual usage. This will appear in the subtotal view of your order as the following: Recurring charges represent all lines where charge type is ‘Recurring’ and License Model is not ‘Committed Billing’. Committed Spend will equal the sum of all lines where Charge type is ‘True Up’ or License Model is ‘Committed Billing’. 1 We won’t go through every single configuration option, since they will vary by offer. We’ll use the Active User offer as an example to show the True-Up billing option. True-Up Billing allows you to be billed based on the difference between the committed value set at time of order, and the sum of the accumulated invoice during your true-up term based on actual usage. For further details on true-up billing, please reach out to your PDM/AM.
CCW Quote Complete the Dynamic Configuration 1 Click View Full Summary for a detailed view of every line item in your configuration. If satisfied with your Configuration, Click Done. This will validate and save the Configuration, completing the Configuration process. Note: If the configuration is not valid an error message will display. Make necessary corrections and click Done again. 1 2 When we are done configuring our offer, we can use the left side navigation pane to review the options we have selected. Note that he subtotal amount shown reflects list prices, before any discounts are taken into consideration. Click Done once satisfied with the quote configuration. 2
CCW Quote Accept Terms & Conditions Read through Terms and Conditions. 1 Read through Terms and Conditions. Click Return to Configuration to modify current Configuration if necessary. Click Done to accept Service Description & End User License Agreement and finalize your Configuration. Note: Ensure your configuration is complete and valid. After continuing, you can change only the Start Date; you will have to reopen the quote to make other changes to your configuration. 2 3 1 2 3 These messages have a yellow diamond icon next to them – meaning they are just warnings. They will not stop us from completing the order. A red icon, however, would require updating the configuration. Remember to pass along the Service Description and License Agreements to the end customer, as this is a crucial step of the process. Click Return to Configuration if you would like to change any of the selected options, or click Done to finalize your Configuration.
CCW Quote Save & Continue Configuration is Valid. 1 Configuration is Valid. Quote summary of selected options and extended list price is displayed. To edit terms and payment, click the pencil icon. Click Save and Continue to save and to move to Discounts & Credits. 2 3 3 1 2 We have now exited the dynamic config tool and are back in the standard CCW Quoting page.

CCW Quote Review and Submit 1 Review the quote details in the Review and Submit tab. Click Submit Quote for Approval. Note: For pricing/product adjustments, “share” quote with AM. 2 1 This is part of the standard CCW quoting process. Review the quote and click submit quote when ready. 2
CCW Quote Quote Approval Click View Submitted Quote. 1 Click View Submitted Quote. Note: Standard quotes are automatically approved. Any non-standard quotes require additional approval – contact and share the quote with your Account Manager. 1 Since this is a standard quote, it is automatically approved. Non-standard quotes have to go through your account manager. This is the end of the SaaS quoting process. The next step is converting this quote to an order. [pause for questions]
Ordering in CCW In this module, we will walk through how to convert a quote to an order, and then place the order. Similarly to quoting, we will move through the standard CCW process fairly quickly to focus on SaaS-specific changes.
SaaS – Transactional and Operational Process Quoting Ordering Subscription Management Invoicing Collect provisioning information from your 2-Tier partner. Validate provisioning information formats and values to ensure valid data. System checks if the URLs are available. Enable auto-provisioning from information gathered in order and any corresponding site configuration form on file, including partner/customer branding. Provisioning Validation Service ensures provisioning is completed on time per requested start date. Provisioning Details and Converting Quote to Order Your 2-Tier partner has submitted a quote and shared it with you. Scenario We’ll continue with the scenario we looked at for quoting – in this case, however, your 2-Tier partner created the quote and shared it with you.

Manage Subscriptions in CCW Now that we’ve covered the Quoting & Ordering process, we’ll talk about managing your subscriptions in CCW
SaaS – Transactional and Operational Process Quoting Ordering Subscription Management Invoicing Manage subscriptions directly in CCW – including processing change subscriptions easily. Simplified upsell and replace subscription process, all in CCW View usage data, invoices, and more in the CCW Subscriptions tab Subscription Management Customer has been using their SaaS product for a few months now and has experienced a change in their company. Due to rising employee headcount, they would like to view their usage data and increase their amount of users specified. Scenario [Quickly flash slide to frame what will be covered in this section.] In this section, we will discuss the subscription management capabilities available to you in CCW, including the ability to Search your subscriptions, Upsell, Initiate a Downsell, Replace your subscription, and view usage data and invoices. To continue the scenario we’ve been talking to, in this case the customer has increased their employee headcount and needs to update their subscription accordingly.
