“What’s In It For Us?”(one of our most common questions)
11-12 April 2013 - Kista, SwedenWGET ICT Humanitarian Forum
It’s Part Of Our Customer Support Cisco Culture: aggressive customer support (from Sandy Lerner)
“Customer Advocacy”
Recognition that tech is integral to any humanitarian response.
Imagine if hospitals, EMS, law enforcement, communications etc. were unavailable due to technology outages!
Customer Advocacy is a key differentiator in the market for ourcustomers.
TacOps grew out of this attitude

(Yes, we work with our PR, Legal, etc…we’re covered)

Threefold approach: cash, product, people.
Attract the best new employees: they care about what their employer does, not just getting a paycheck
