That’s why we’re excited to introduce **Express Support**—our enhanced support offering designed to work alongside your existing Cisco SMARTnet. ### What is Express Support? **Express Support** bridges the gap between traditional Cisco SMARTnet coverage and the real-world support your team needs to stay ahead. It complements SMARTnet by providing **on-demand access to certified engineers, personalized lifecycle management, and proactive guidance**—all with the responsiveness and flexibility you expect from LookingPoint. Here’s what’s included: #### 1. **Dedicated Client Services** You'll work with a dedicated Customer Success Representative (CSR) to help streamline onboarding, licensing portal access, and support needs. We’re not just here when something breaks—we’re with you every step of the way. #### 2. **On-Demand Expertise** Have a configuration question? Need help with a network change? Our technical team is available for: - Reactive troubleshooting - Moves/Adds/Changes - Best practices and how-to guidance #### 3. **Break/Fix Support** We provide remote support for both hardware and software issues, including TAC escalation when needed. If your team hits a wall, we’ll help get things back on track—fast. #### 4. **Lifecycle Management** Our support goes beyond incidents. We assist with: - EoX (End-of-Life) and firmware guidance - Replacement hardware planning - Asset and subscription management through a centralized portal ## Why Add Express Support? Cisco SMARTnet gives you essential coverage like hardware replacement and OS updates. But when it comes to configuration issues, project planning, or quick troubleshooting guidance, that’s where Express Support steps in. It’s an added layer of assurance that gives your team a direct line to trusted advisors. - Available during **standard business hours (8x5)** to align with your SMARTnet SLA - Supports Cisco and Meraki switches, firewalls, routers, and access points - **No contracts or long-term commitments required, just a simple SKU purchase** - Flexible engagement—you can contact LookingPoint or Cisco directly ## Who’s It For? If you’re running Cisco or Meraki infrastructure and want expert guidance without the cost and complexity of higher-tier support packages, Express Support is for you. It's a great fit for organizations looking to simplify IT operations and ensure faster issue resolution with a team they already trust.
