Agreed - it sounded like the Cisco guy just spec'd up the absolute maximum needed for one or two locations, then just decided to roll out the same spec across all 1000+ locations, obviously trying to maximise sales. Cisco was probably shocked when the government approved it all.
- prawn 14y ago"Cisco was probably shocked when the government approved it all." Wouldn't that imply they hadn't succeeded with the same ploy before? I think that's unlikely!
- intended 14y agoI saw it differently. To me this looks like a situation where something was said verbally, and then no confirmation or follow up was given. Wanting to get the quote out, Cisco just made it and sent it. They assumed that it, and any other issues, would get sorted out when the quote got reviewed. The client slept. Cisco said "Good job sales team". It is always the job of the buyer to know what he is getting, for what he is paying.
