The Lifecycle Incentive management challenge

Cisco rewards Partners for developing customer success practices and creating value across the customer experience lifecycle, from the very start through to use or activation and adoption. Yet Cisco Partner Sales, Customer Experience, and Customer Success teams struggle to integrate the complex customer experience process while maximizing their Cisco Lifecycle Incentive (LCI) rewards.

Simplify Lifecycle Incentive management

The Netformx LifecycleXpert application, powered by ChannelXpert™, brings program intelligence to Sales and Customer Experience teams so they can increase profitability by maximizing LCI reward submission and collection. This is achieved by automating the management of LCI reward requirements and deadlines for Use/Activate and Adopt.

LifecycleXpert helps you analyze and prioritize LCI opportunities, determine where to take action on plans and activities, see what’s needed to meet milestones and due dates, and track payments to ensure you get paid. It gives you a view of the entire LCI journey. LifecycleXpert enables a rapid ROI with automatic analysis of comprehensive data and actionable insights that show the potential rewards — all on a single pane of glass.

Get full access to Cisco and Distributor data

To gain the most benefit from the LCI program it is critical to have access to all the necessary data. This can be a challenging task since the data is distributed across numerous systems.
