We are cisco
wearecisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference.
here's how we do it.
we embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses.
some may think we're "old" (30 years strong!)
and only about hardware, but we're also a software company.
and a security company.
an ai/machine learning company.
we even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects.
no other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!
but "digital transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
day to day, we focus on the give and take.
we give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our dna.)
we take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart.
because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
what you will do
the asset manager is responsible for driving desired business outcomes to the customer by achieving, monitoring and reporting key performance indicators (kpis) through effective installed base (ib) and contract management during the lifecycle of the engagement.
you'll work closely with account teams, partners and customers to gather information about the customer, create an initial view of their ib, analyze the data quality and assess existing processes governing the lifecycle of the customer assets.

on an ongoing basis in order to optimize the customer experience, you will analyze the customer asset management process (or installed base lifecycle process), provide recommendations for design & optimization, be accountable for process execution and act as the single point of contact to the customer, partner, and cisco account team for managing, tracking, and reporting on any asset / contract management issues.
