Cisco Commerce Workspace – Quick Tutorial

The Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) is a multipurpose tool for Cisco Partners and empolyees to quickly create a Bill of Materials with list price quotes.

To access the Cisco Commerce Workspace go to http://www.cisco.com/go/ccw

You should see a screen like this

To create a quote click on the Estimates & Configurations

The first thing you should do is to change the quote reference to something you can recognise later.

By clicking on the Pencil to the right of the Estimate name you can change it something more relevant to your quote.

In this example I have changed it to Lan-Refresh-Customer-X

The next step it to look for the hardware you require, type the name of the hardware into the search box.

For more accurate results enter the SKU of the hardware.

As soon as you click on your hadware the list price is entered into the quote.

You can then select software and support options required.

Once you have created your qoute you can share it or export it.

The most popular choice here is to just export it as an .xls for distributing to your customers.

There is much more to this tool than can be described here so I would recommend just logging into the tool and seeing what you can do with it.
