Our Commitment to Service Providers
At Cisco, we are dedicated to empowering service providers with cutting-edge communication and collaboration solutions that enable the best-in-class Employee Experience and Customer Experience. The large and growing cloud communications market presents significant growth opportunities for Cisco and its partners. This market requires our partners to deliver services with speed, scale, and innovation, and Cisco stands as your trusted partner in this journey.
Many of the largest service providers—and our most important partners—depend on BroadWorks to deliver scalable, secure, compliant, and feature-rich communication solutions. As the industry-leading hosted call control platform, Cisco BroadWorks supports tens of millions of calling customers worldwide, and we are fully committed to provider-hosted call control via Cisco BroadWorks.
Cisco BroadWorks: A Key Pillar of Our Growth Strategy
At the heart of our strategy for service providers is Cisco BroadWorks, a pivotal component of our solutions portfolio that we expect to remain a key part of our growth strategy for the future.
To succeed in mass markets, service providers need compelling product and service bundles alongside scaled service delivery. Cisco continues to champion openness, industry standards, and a robust set of APIs for Cisco BroadWorks.
We continue to enhance Cisco BroadWorks to address the dynamic needs of service providers. This includes adapting to evolving regulatory and compliance landscapes across the numerous countries where Cisco BroadWorks is deployed.
These investments help service providers continue to leverage their investments and more importantly use their own BSS and OSS systems and drive the efficient growth of cloud communications revenue.
Innovative Services that Delight Customers
For service providers aiming to deliver exceptional experiences, offering the latest in communication technology is essential. Cisco empowers service providers to deliver advanced AI-powered collaboration features from the Webex cloud, paired with trusted and compliant calling through Cisco BroadWorks.
A notable example is the integration of the Webex App with Cisco BroadWorks, allowing operators to offer seamless soft clients, meetings, and messaging experiences to their current BroadWorks user base.
It’s important to note that service providers can choose their own evolution path with Cisco: some are ready to transition to a fully Webex cloud solution, migrating their existing base of BroadWorks customers, while others prefer to maintain their current customers on BroadWorks while launching new segments on the Webex cloud offering. Both strategies are equally important and strategic to Cisco, and we are seeing a mix of both deployment models globally.
Service Providers are now combining Webex services with Cisco BroadWorks to target new market segments. This strategy enables them to address specific verticals, mid-market customers, new geographical markets, or those customers seeking capabilities beyond traditional hosted calling features.
A Platform for Continuous Innovation and Advancement
Our vision is to accelerate the introduction of new and exciting services for our service provider partners. Webex enables partners to tap into Cisco’s significant investments in product R&D and user experience. Looking forward, we anticipate offering more AI-driven features that allow service providers to open new markets, enhance customer loyalty, and drive additional growth.
