What are the main differences between the ANCE and ASE?
The main differences between an NCE and an SE are where they fit within our services lifecycle (prepare, plan, design, implement, operate and optimize). A Network Consulting Engineer (NCE) is a post-sales role. There are different types of NCE within Advanced Services – Proactive NCE for Subscription services usually supports a limited amount big customers (big Enterprise or Service Provider) that already have Cisco equipment in place and have purchased an ongoing support services contract. The NCE usually works on the optimize stage of the lifecycle and their tasks include performing network audits, giving advice on network improvement, reviewing designs and working on the customers software strategy. – Proactive NCE for Transactional services usually supports different Advanced Services customers with projects that could last from a few weeks to a few months. This would be during the plan, design and implement stages of the lifecycle and may be related to a particular technology area
