Selling BYOD in a Unified Access Network (SBYOD)
Course Overview
The BYOD phenomenon, with iPads and Smartphones forcing their way into corporate infrastructures, represents a major paradigm shift. Cisco’s Borderless Networks Architecture, with integrated approaches to device management, policy, security and mobility represents the industry’s most comprehensive solution to answering this growing trend. This 1-day workshop immerses AMs into Cisco’s BYOD Smart Solutions and validated designs. The course utilizes a balance of practical discussion, workshop exercises and lecture sessions. Delivery can be done either virtual or ILT.
