Nowadays service providers face a challenging landscape. Continuing price and volume pressure can compromise overall profitability. Capital efficiency and increased returns on invested capital are primary financial objectives. An answer to increased profitability with rapid return on capital investment may center on offering managed services to new customers and to current customers that subscribe only to transport services today. Cisco Systems has created two new tools that help demonstrate the potential profits to be made by service providers that offer bundled IP managed services. The tools also can be used to prove to business customers the significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) they can enjoy by allowing a capable third party to provide the value-added IP services they rely on most.
