Forrester’s in-depth interviews with Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network customers yielded several 
important observations: 

Based on information collected in interviews with current Unified Wireless Network customers, 
Forrester found that by standardizing and centrally managing the wireless network, these 
organizations have: 1) improved network security; 2) reduced on-going administrative effort; 3) 
improved end-user productivity and 4) improved third-party guest access. 

The financial analysis provided in this study illustrates the potential way an organization can 
evaluate the value proposition of Cisco’s product. Based on information collected in four in-depth 
customer interviews, Forrester calculated a three-year risk-adjusted ROI of 92% for the composite 
organization with a payback period of 15 months. All final estimates are risk-adjusted to incorporate 
potential uncertainty in the calculation of costs and benefits.  

Based on these findings, companies looking to migrate to Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network can 
expect productivity benefits and cost savings. Using the TEI framework, many companies may find 
the potential for a compelling business case to make such an investment.
