Lifecycle Manager + Cisco

Integrate Cisco Meraki and Cisco Smart Net with Lifecycle Manager to sync actively managed hardware and software assets and get accurate warranty dates, automated insights, and generated scorecards for each of your clients.

What is Cisco?

Cisco is a global leader in networking, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure solutions. It offers a wide range of products and services, including switches, routers, wireless, and security systems. Cisco's technology is widely used to enable secure and scalable network connectivity, cloud integration, and collaboration tools for businesses of all sizes.

Lifecycle Manager integrates with some of Cisco’s most popular software tools. 

  • Cisco Meraki: Meraki is a cloud-managed IT solution that provides a range of network devices, including wireless access points, switches, security appliances, and endpoint management tools.
  • Cisco Smart Net: Cisco Smart Net is a technical support and service program that provides businesses with access to Cisco’s expert technical support, hardware replacement, and proactive network monitoring.

Lifecycle Manager integrates with Cisco Meraki and Cisco Smart Net to sync hardware and software data.

Why Lifecycle Manager + Cisco?

Gain a singular view into your client’s business by integrating your Cisco Meraki and Cisco Smart Net with Lifecycle Manager.

The lifecycle manager syncs both regular Meraki assets (MX, MR, MS, etc.) and the systems manager assets (RMM / MDM tools). Once synced, your Cisco Meraki data is then de-duplicated based on data from your other integrated tools. We’ll cross-check that with information from the manufacturer and give you a summary of the clean data. This client data unlocks a host of features that make client engagement easy, including:

  • Automated client-ready planning templates and reports.
  • Objective measurement of your client’s digital maturity with our Digital Maturity Index (DMI™) and generated scorecards.
  • Insights that identify your high-risk clients & assets. 
  • Access to accurate hardware, network, and software asset data without duplication.
  • Engage clients with visual roadmaps that effectively communicate priorities.
  • Protect infrastructure & assets and generate new revenue with warranty coverage in under 30 seconds.
  • Securely dispose of aged assets for free with IT Asset Disposal.

Sync back new data

Enable two-way sync in Lifecycle Manager to keep your data in Cisco Meraki up to date when you make changes, like if you’ve purchased a warranty through Lifecycle Manager and want to keep the new expiration date correct on both platforms.
