Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0

The Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 provides a flexible subscription model for a range of Collaboration products, including Webex® Calling and Meetings, Webex Calling Customer Assist, Cisco® Unified Communications Manager, the Webex Suite, and the option to purchase products individually based on customer needs. With AI-powered tools like Webex Calling Customer Assist and AI Receptionist, organizations can automate routine tasks and deliver personalized, always-on customer and workplace experiences, driving resilience and intelligence into today’s dynamic business environments.

Deployment models

Customers can choose to mix deployment models to fit their needs and deploy Webex Meetings with on-premises calling and/or Webex Calling.

Buying models

The Enterprise Agreement (EA) buying model covers all Knowledge Workers (KWs) in an organization and includes a 15% growth allowance for all new Flex 3.0 subscriptions. A minimum of 250 KWs are required.

The Named User (NU) buying model is a per-user subscription that provides Webex Meetings and/or Webex Calling services for individuals, teams, or departments with the flexibility to add additional named users as adoption grows. No growth allowance is included. A minimum of five users are required for Webex Suite NU or the Webex Meetings package.

The Active User (AU) buying model is a usage-based subscription for Webex Meetings only that allows customers to purchase Meeting entitlements according to adoption. With Flex Plan 3.0, subscriptions can be purchased for a minimum of 40 active users.

True Forward

In the event of subscription overconsumption, Cisco has a True Forward policy for all Flex 3.0 subscriptions (EA, NU, and AU). Consult the Collaboration Flex True Forward deck for program details. Webex Control Hub acts as the source of truth on all users and average active user values used in the True Forward process.

Webex Suite, Webex Suite Essentials

Webex Suite can be purchased in two different tiers in the Flex 3.0 offer: Webex Suite Essentials (cloud only) and the more comprehensive Webex Suite (with Cloud and on-premises options). Both options are available for Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Named User (NU) buying options.

Benefits

Webex messaging add-on

Secure, all-in-one team collaboration from Webex. Webex is an app for continuous teamwork. Move work forward in secure workspaces where everyone can contribute anytime with messaging, file sharing, whiteboarding, video meetings, calling, and more.

Guest-to-Guest Meetings

A dedicated service app enables effortless management and scheduling of Guest-to-Guest (G2G) meetings, providing a seamless experience for both registered and anonymous participants. Integrated into the Webex Meetings app, this feature allows hosts and guests to hold flexible, on-demand meetings without permanent licenses or registered identities—ideal for ad-hoc or one-time gatherings.

Business Texting

Business Texting can be added onto your Cisco Calling Plan telephone numbers to allow you to send & receive SMS messages on your Cisco Calling TN#. In order to add Business Texting, you can opt into it in CCW and then enable any TN# on your subscription via Control Hub.

Cisco Jabber option

Cisco Jabber instant messaging can be opted in addition to Webex Messaging at no cost and at equal license count as Webex Messaging. This is intended to aid customer migration from Jabber to Webex App.

Webex Messaging 1 TB of file storage

Get additional file storage in addition to the pooled 24 GB of file storage per knowledge worker or 20 GB of file storage per named user in the standard offer. Purchased in unitary increments.

Extended Security Pack*

The Extended Security Pack bundle includes full-functionality Cisco Cloud Lock for data loss prevention and anti-malware scanning for all Webex files. This add-on provides collaboration administrators agility and the ability to securely deploy Webex in their enterprises by addressing all InfoSec concerns in a tightly integrated solution without the procurement and deployment hurdles of buying multiple products.

Extended Security pack with DUO MFA

Duo offers Essentials to protect your applications by using a second source of validation (like a phone or token) to verify user identity before granting access. Duo is engineered to provide a simple, streamlined login experience for every user and application.

*Extended Security Pack requires a purchase with Calling and/or Meetings.

Technical support and customer success services

Cisco offers support services covering the areas of problem resolution, customer success and adoption, and designated support management in three service tiers: Basic, Enhanced, and Premium. Basic support is included at no additional cost for the duration of your subscription. For more information about the available technical support services, contact your partner or Cisco sales agent.

Cloud provisioning overview

Upon order placement, partners designate a provisioning contact who receives instructions to set up the service via the Control Hub wizard. For detailed provisioning steps, refer to the 'Provisioning' section in the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 Ordering Guide.

On-premises licensing and software delivery

On-premises licenses are delivered to you via your Smart Account. The partner is responsible for entering your Smart Account information at the time your order is placed.

Ordering information

To initiate a purchase or for assistance with modifications to your subscription, please contact your certified Cisco partner or Cisco sales agent. For detailed step-by-step instructions on quoting and ordering Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0, refer to the 'Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 and Webex Suite Ordering Guide.

Basic Webex Meeting Service

Basic Meeting provides an introductory Webex Meetings experience. Advanced features require a paid subscription. If a paid subscription is not renewed, the account reverts to the free Basic Meeting service, which has fewer features, different usage limits, and a 40-minute meeting cap. Cisco may change free service features and limits at any time and may deactivate or delete free accounts (and data) that exceed the 5GB storage limit. For details see the Webex help article for a detailed comparison.
