What is Lifecycle Management?
WWT's Lifecycle Management tool, available through the WWT Platform, is a self-service offering that puts critical information related to all termed agreements purchased through WWT at your fingertips. It provides immediate visibility to entitlements and renewal dates of software, maintenance and service agreements as well as SaaS products.
The average enterprise device has 67 applications installed on it. Multiply that by the hundreds or thousands of enterprise devices in an organization, and it is easy to see how massive and complex software management is. Application teams often lack visibility into entitlements, usage and software renewal dates, leading to underutilization and costly—and often unplanned and unbudgeted—purchases. Lifecycle Management simplifies the manual processes of software management and becomes an integral part of your long-tail spend management.
Visibility to termed agreements makes extracting actionable insights easy
Key features of Lifecycle Management include:
Use this timeline view to quickly see what contracts are nearing renewal, making annual budgeting easier and more accurate.
View high-level details of your contract, including contract type, OEM, contract status, and start and end date, for a quick summary of assets.
You may also view eligible and purchased entitlements in your Cisco EA.
Lifecycle Management rollout
Throughout the remainder of 2024, we will be adding Lifecycle Management functionality to U.S.-based accounts with at least one termed date contract with WWT.
