Key Facts
• The Netformx DesignXpert Advisor for Cisco IronPort offers an easy, step-by-step guide to help sales engineers more quickly find the optimal email and web security solution for their customers, and connect with the appropriate Cisco contact person for IronPort products. This provides a welcome productivity boost to the previously used spreadsheet-
• The Netformx solution also automatically ensures all configurations are valid for deployment within customers’ network environments and enforces business rules, such as purchasing support for certain email and web security appliances, which cannot be efficiently implemented using spreadsheets.
• In addition, Netformx DesignXpert creates separate Bill of Materials (BOMs)—one for enterprise customers and one for Cisco IronPort sales representatives, who will then use the BOM to place the order. This welcome productivity boost helps channel partners to quickly and clearly understand their sales margins and gives them flexibility when negotiating with their enterprise customers.
