“So as you can see, we’re investing in Cisco IAC to support our business in some very significant ways,” says 
Sjoquist. “Cisco IAC is a solution that can affect the business as a whole, not just IT. For example, in the future, we 

expect to have substantial data about how Cisco IAC enables greater cash flow by improving the speed of billing 

and receivables. The more quickly services can be delivered, the more easily they can be verified and tracked, 

then the sooner that billing and payments can occur. The long-term benefits will be impressive; 

we’re confident 

about that.” 

Next Steps 

ASE will deploy Cisco IAC to all of its customers in 2013. The goal is to have all customers place and track their IT 

services using their Cisco Cloud Portal interface, which is a part of the Cisco IAC stack. 

The company is also in the process of exploring other Cisco IAC features. “There is a lot of buzz within our 

customer base about automated infrastructure discovery,

” says McGrath, “so we will be looking closely at Cisco 

IAC Cloud Sync capability. It aligns quite well with one of our strategies to help customers transform strategic 

pieces of their existing environments into more cloud-friendly resources. There would be tremendous value in 

automated discovery of existing infrastructure devices to facilitate the migration to hybrid environments of on-
premise and cloud services.”
