Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0
The Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 provides a flexible subscription model for a range of Collaboration products, including Webex® Calling and Meetings, Webex Customer Experience Essentials, Cisco® Unified Communications Manager, and other related solutions. This offer also includes the Webex Suite, and the option to purchase products individually based on your specific needs.
Buying models
Enterprise Agreement (EA) buying model covers all Knowledge Workers (KW) in an organization and includes 15% growth for all new Flex 3.0 subscriptions. A minimum of 250 KW is required. EAs can be comprised of single collaboration workloads, like Webex Calling or Meetings only or Webex Suite, or a mix of multiple workloads, like Webex Suite EA and Customer Experience Essentials EA. For questions on downturn, growth allowance and mix and matching, see our Flex 3.0 FAQ.
● Growth allowance enables customers to utilize additional licenses within the purchased subscription beyond their initial purchased quantity at no additional cost. During the term you may consume up to 115% of the initial entitlement without incurring any additional charges.
The Active User (AU) buying model is a usage-based subscription for Webex Meetings only that allows customers to purchase Meeting entitlements according to adoption. With Flex Plan 3.0, subscriptions can be purchased for a minimum of 40 Active Users.
The Named User (NU) buying model is a per-user subscription that provides Meetings and/or Calling services for individuals, teams, or departments with flexibility to add additional named users as adoption grows. No growth is included. A minimum of 5 users are required for Webex Suite NU or Webex Meetings Package.
Deployment models
Customers can choose to mix deployment models to fit their needs and deploy Cloud Meetings with on-premises and/or Webex Calling. True Forward.
Cisco has enabled True Forward automation for all Flex 3.0 Enterprise Agreements, eliminating manual touches for the True Forward process for Flex 3.0 EA Webex Cloud deployed subscriptions (EA Meetings standalone, EA Webex Calling Standalone, EA Meeting + Webex Calling and Webex Suite EA). If the account is oversubscribed on the Last Day of the 11th Lifecycle Month, a True Forward is required on the True Forward Anniversary Date. Refer to the EA Program Terms/EUIF (now in DocuSign) and the True Forward deck.
Active User True Forward
● The Active User True Forward occurs at the end of each 12-month period, following the first addition of an Active User entitlement to a subscription.
● The True Forward is determined per the “average Active Users,” which is the average number of Active Users per month in months 9, 10, and 11 of the preceding year. For clarity, months 9, 10, and 11 represent an average count of three 30-day increments of unique active hosts (a rolling 90-day average) at the end of month 11.
● The True Forward is determined per the “average users,” which is the average number of users per month in months 9, 10, and 11 of the preceding year. For clarity, months 9, 10, and 11 represent an average count of three 30-day increments of unique users (a rolling 90-day average) at the end of month 11.
● Webex Control Hub (Control Hub) acts as the source of truth on all users and average active user values used in the True Forward.

Benefits |
| Secure, all-in-one team collaboration from Webex. Webex is an app for continuous teamwork. Move work forward in secure workspaces where everyone can contribute anytime with messaging, file sharing, white boarding, video meetings, calling, and more. |
|
| Guest-to-Guest Meetings |
With a dedicated service app at the forefront. Guest-to-Guest (G2G) meetings are effortlessly managed and scheduled, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for both registered and anonymous participants. This functionality is integrated into the Webex Meetings app, allowing hosts and guests to engage in flexible, on-demand meetings without the need for permanent licenses or registered identities, catering perfectly to ad-hoc or one-time gatherings. |
| Business Texting |
Business Texting can be added onto your Cisco Calling Plan telephone numbers to allow you to send & receive SMS messages on your Cisco Calling TN#. In order to add Business Texting, you can opt into it in CCW and then enable any TN# on your subscription via Control Hub. |
| Cisco Jabber instant messaging can be opted in addition to Webex Messaging at no cost and at equal license count as Webex Messaging. This is intended to aid customer migration from Jabber to Webex App. |
|
| Webex Messaging 1 TB of file storage |
Get additional file storage in addition to the pooled 24 GB of file storage per knowledge worker or 20 GB of file storage per named user in the standard offer. Purchased in unitary increments. |
| The Extended Security Pack bundle includes full-functionality Cisco Cloud Lock for data loss prevention and anti-malware scanning for all Webex files. This add-on provides collaboration administrators agility and the ability to securely deploy Webex in their enterprises by addressing all InfoSec concerns in a tightly integrated solution without the procurement and deployment hurdles of buying multiple products. |
|
| Duo offers Essentials to protect your applications by using a second source of validation (like a phone or token) to verify user identity before granting access. Duo is engineered to provide a simple, streamlined login experience for every user and application. |
Technical support and customer success services
Cisco offers support services covering the areas of problem resolution, customer success and adoption, and designated support management in three service tiers: Basic, Enhanced, and Premium. Basic support is included at no additional cost for the duration of your subscription. For more information about the available technical support services, contact your partner or Cisco sales agent.
When placing the order in CCW, partners will be required to designate a provisioning contact email address. The provisioning contact should be the contact email address of the person responsible for setting up the service. On the requested start date, the provisioning contact will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to complete the first-time setup wizard in Control Hub. The wizard will prompt a series of steps to complete the service setup. For more detailed step-by-step instructions, reference the Provisioning Wizard - User Guide.
On-premises licensing and software delivery
On-premises licenses are delivered to you via your Smart Account. The partner is responsible for entering your Smart Account information at the time your order is placed.
To place an order, contact your certified Cisco partner or Cisco sales agent. If you need help finding a partner in your area, use the Partner Locator tool. Your partner or Cisco sales agent can also assist with any modifications to your subscription after your initial order is placed.
Basic Meeting enables users to try out what the Webex Meetings experience is like. If your users would like to experience all the advanced features, you can assign them a paid license if your organization has a Webex Meetings subscription. If you have a Webex Meetings subscription and elect not to renew your subscription, your Webex Meeting account will be converted to a Basic free cloud Meeting service. The free cloud Meeting service has fewer features and differing usage limits than the paid cloud service and is limited to 40 minutes for each Meeting. Cisco can at any time change features and limits at our discretion and without notice. Cisco may also deactivate or delete your free account and any related data if you exceed the 5-GB storage limit per user. Please see the Webex help article for a detailed comparison.
