Key Benefits

Simplified
Packaging

The solution offers four calling and collaboration packages that’s well-suited for your end users in the small and medium business (SMB) segment.

Fixed, Predictable Per-User / Per-Month Pricing

Each package has a fixed transfer price with Cisco. These transfer prices are captured in a PO that gets submitted once into Cisco Commerce Workplace (CCW). After that, you no longer need to use CCW for any sales transaction.

High-Velocity Provisioning UX and APIs

APIs provide a simple, machine to machine interface that integrates into your back-office systems. This allows you to provision, manage, and remove customers and users.

Monthly Invoicing Based on Net Active Users

You are billed monthly for the net number of active licenses, in arrears, and pro-rated on the activation dates of each customer. This allows you to flex up and down and only get charged for licenses that are actively provisioned on the system.

Simplified and Centralized Administration

The administrative web-based portal allows you to manage and remove customers and users, view analytics, and customize it to reflect your company brand and identity.

Webex for Service Providers makes it easy for you to leverage your brand with a co-branded offer, build on your market position, and innovate with your own services.

WHOLESALE BILLING

Webex for Service Providers only requires a single “blanked” Purchase Order/Subscription at the service provider level, against which the service provider will be billed for all usage across their customer base. This frees up the service provider to focus on onboarding their customers onto the Webex platform.

API MANAGEMENT FOR SERVICE PROVIDER SCALE

Webex for Service Providers is built for service provider scale. To achieve this, all functions for partner level and enterprise level management are enabled via APIs. In an ideal state, an API call for creating a customer entity in Webex and an API call for creating and configuring services for users are all you need. Cisco has invested in asynchronous APIs that do away with ordering APIs and any other manual operations. These APIs extend those available on developer.webex.com and allow service providers to span integration from service provider to customer to user easily. The design guidelines for these APIs are that they are simple to use, allow service providers to operate at scale, and offer flexibility via onboarding templates to target offers to the end customers.

SIMPLIFIED AND CENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION

Webex for Service Providers provides you with two simple interfaces to provision and manage customers:

Partner Hub: Managing the Offer

Partner Hub: Managing the Offer — Partner Hub is the web-based administrative interface that you use to configure offer attributes that span enterprises. Partner Hub provides:

  • Offer Management — Establish default settings, templates, and policies that apply to all enterprises managed under the offer.
  • Cobranding — Set client brand colors, logos, and other client attributes for a cobranded end-user experience that reenforces the values of both the Service Provider and Cisco.
  • Enterprise Onboarding—Add new businesses to your offer, assign enterprise-level features, and security compliance. Set meeting site attributes including dial-in and callback services.
  • Enterprise Management and Reporting — Assign roles and responsibilities to admins within the enterprises that you manage. See analytics across all enterprises to monitor adoption, usage, and quality metrics.

Control Hub: Managing on Behalf of the Enterprise

The Control Hub offers a holistic view of an enterprise’s Webex services. It helps you manage all enterprises, users, devices, and security settings in one place. Control Hub provides one central cloud app for all your administrative functions with detailed analytics and reporting. Also, the administrator can configure security and compliance policies to help keep data safe and meet regulatory needs.
