2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public 2 Bill to ID and Contract Number - Service Access Management Tool Tour Overview  This tour provides a general overview of the Service Access Management Tool and focuses on using the tool to manage Cisco service access by both Bill to ID (Partner) and Contract Number (End Customer).  Prior to September 2009, this tool consisted of two tools: My Colleagues Tool Granular (MCTG) and My Colleagues Aggregate Tool (MCAT).  Cisco Service Contract Center (CSCC) is not connected to this tool. CSCC information can be found here: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/services/resources/cs cc/index.html  CSCC is used for service contract management and the Service Access Management Tool is used for service access management (TAC/technical support and RMA/hardware replacement).

All rights reserved.Cisco Public 3 What is the Service Access Management Tool?  The tool enables Partner/Customer Administrators to manage Cisco service access by: Bill to ID (Partners), Contract Number (End Customers), or both.  Allows Partner/Customer Administrators to proactively manage which individuals can obtain Cisco services* *Many Cisco service contracts require a serial number to obtain support. This tool is designed to ensure your engineers have the ability to open service requests using the contracts managed by your company.

4 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public 4 Service Access Management Using Bill to ID vs. Contract Number Using Bill to ID  Enables Administrator to identify which Bill to IDs in Cisco.com profiles can be utilized to obtain Cisco services  If the Bill to ID is enabled for support access, the individual will be able to use all the Contract Numbers under that Bill to ID to obtain support  When a new service Contract is purchased under the enabled Bill to ID in the individual’s profile, it is automatically available to obtain support  Primary users: companies who are providing the support for their customers – end customers not contacting Cisco directly Using Contract Number  Enables Administrators to place Contract Numbers in Cisco.com profiles so those individuals can obtain Cisco services  When a new service Contract is purchased, it must be manually added to Cisco.com profiles  Primary users: companies who are obtaining support directly from Cisco and have less than 500 service Contracts

All rights reserved.Cisco Public 5 How to Obtain Access Using Bill to ID  Provide your Cisco Service Contract Account representative with the: –Cisco.com IDs of the new Administrators –At least two Administrators are required –Bill to IDs to be managed (work with your Cisco Service Contract Account representative if you do not know the Bill to IDs) Using Contract Number  Provide your Cisco Service Contract Account representative with the: –Cisco.com IDs of the Administrators –At least two Administrators are required –Contract Numbers to be managed (work with your Cisco Service Contract Account representative if you do not know the Contract Numbers)  The Cisco Service Contract Account representative will open a Service Support Center request for tool access and you will be informed by email when access has been provided
