Which two benefits of flexible purchasing does Cisco provide? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ASimplify the datacenter
• BMeet immediate needs
• CRoll out more solutions
• DPlan for the future
• EReduce training needs

• B
  90% (19)
• C
  5% (1)
• E
  5% (1)

Explanation

Cisco's flexible purchasing model is designed to address timing and financial planning - options B and D capture this precisely: "Meet immediate needs" means you can acquire technology now without waiting for budget cycles, while "Plan for the future" reflects Cisco's ability to structure agreements that scale with your organization over time.

The distractors (A, C, E) describe outcomes of deploying Cisco technology generally, not benefits of the purchasing model itself. Simplifying the datacenter (A) and rolling out more solutions (C) relate to architectural or strategic outcomes, and reducing training needs (E) is an operational benefit - none of these are about how you buy.

Memory tip: Think "B + D = Buy & Defer" - you can Buy now for immediate needs and Defer/plan payments for the future. Flexible purchasing is fundamentally about when and how you pay, not what the technology does for you.
