AutoQuote
Cisco’s AutoQuote program provides automated quoting services across various Cisco offers globally.
AutoQuotes contribute to increased renewal practice maturity by minimizing in-house quote production through digital workstream integration.
When combined with other Digital Renewals programs, partners and distributors can benefit from AutoQuotes in a variety of ways.
Accurate and Relevant
The AutoQuote program ensures that every quote created has the maximum potential to be converted to an order with the least amount of effort/touch possible. This means the line-composition of the quote, along with the line-level attributes of the quote, are curated using a methodology that minimizes or eliminates the need for modifications prior to ordering.
Customization at Scale
The AutoQuote program utilizes an automated system with flexible data sourcing, rules-based-logic and customer/partner supplied quoting preferences in order to optimize the accuracy and relevancy of quotes generated at scale.
Less Time Fixing Quotes
The AutoQuote program is pioneering new capabilities intended to automatically resolve quote validation errors and provide a guided workflow for errors that are not suitable for automated resolution. In the future, errors requiring human decisioning will be accompanied by user-selectable system-generated values, resulting in less time spent researching details needed to validate quotes.
Decrease Booking Friction
The AutoQuote program is also driving improvements in quote conversion processes by incorporating quote revalidation capabilities that help partners find and address errors prior to booking. This ensures error-free order conversions without the need for alternative manual methods like cloning quotes.
Drive Simplification
The AutoQuote program aims to simplify the quoting process by offering user-selectable preferences for combining multiple renewal opportunities into a single quote, applying contract co-termination dates, automated inclusion of never-covered and expired items, and also automated contract consolidation. All this helps alleviate the management burdens associated with contract proliferation.
