Smarter networks, made simple. How Softcat and Cisco keep your organisation connected

The modern workplace has changed, and networks have had to change with it. Effectively managing these networks has become more complex as the digital landscape evolves. As organisations embrace hybrid working, adopt cloud-based strategies and move from traditional MPLS to SD-WAN technologies, network infrastructure has become more vital and more complex than ever. Meanwhile, the need for visibility, resilience and a strong security posture across distributed environments remains. In fact, it’s grown, but keeping pace with this rate of change can be tough, especially when in-house teams are already stretched managing day-to-day operations.  

That’s where we come in. We’ve built a modular, scalable portfolio of Cisco-powered Managed Network Services to help you overcome these challenges, without overloading your team or compromising on innovation. 

Taking the complexity out of network management 

At Softcat, we’ve made it our mission to simplify the way you manage, optimise and evolve your network. We’ve partnered with Cisco for over two decades, combining its world-leading technologies with our expert, hands-on support to deliver seamless, secure and future-ready networks. Our comprehensive Managed Network Services portfolio powered by Cisco technologies helps to manage and optimise your network infrastructure.  

Why Softcat’s Cisco-powered services? 

With Cisco’s cutting-edge technologies at its core, Softcat’s Managed Network Services offer flexibility, scalability and simplicity in network management. These services address common challenges such as: 

• Bridging skills gaps or in-house resource limitations with cost-effective solutions. 

• Freeing internal teams from routine tasks to focus on strategic initiatives and innovation. 

• Avoiding common implementation pitfalls and delivering faster time to value. 

• Strengthening security and offering expert advice to safeguard network environments. 

• Enhancing visibility with advanced monitoring for swift issue resolution and optimised operations. 
   

We’ve also built a strong partnership with Cisco: 

• This year, we were honoured to receive Cisco Gold Provider status, giving you access to the highest level of expertise and support. 

• We are ranked number one for Cisco Meraki across the UK and Ireland.  

• We are one of only ten partners in the UK to hold Cisco’s Advanced CX Certification, showcasing our commitment to delivering exceptional services as a trusted partner. 
   

Modular services, maximum flexibility 

No two networks are the same, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our modular approach means that you can customise the support and the technology you want Softcat to manage, including: 

• LAN 

• Wireless LAN 

• SD-WAN 

• Connectivity 
   

You can start with one service, then scale up and combine them over time. The services are designed to integrate with each other, ensuring a consistent and efficient network experience.   

Always-on monitoring and expert support 

Our Network Operations Centre provides 24x7x365 monitoring and proactive maintenance to help you avoid downtime and keep everything running smoothly. We can support you holistically, including advisory, architectural design and implementation services, as well as: 

• Incident Management  

• Break-Fix 

• Change Management 

• Critical Security Patch Management 

• Health Checks 

• Plus, a dedicated Service Delivery Manager to oversee operations and ensure optimal network performance. 
   

We are with you at every stage – advising, designing, implementing and managing. 

What’s next for your network? 

Wherever you are in your networking journey and whatever you need, Softcat is ready to support you.  

We understand that every organisation has unique networking needs, which is why we offer a flexible model that allows you to start small and expand over time. Whether you choose to begin with a single, focused service or full end-to-end support, our flexible model ensures seamless integration and consistent performance across all services.
