Update 20 OCT 2021
-----

Juniper is changing and simplifying the names of our digital support tools.

As of 30 October 2021, we will be discontinuing the Apex sub-brand name for our portfolio of support tools.

How will this impact you?

Hopefully not too much. Our digital support transformation goals remain the same, to transform your support experience. Our vision is to provide Experience First Services.  All URL solution links with the Apex name will be redirected to updated URLs.

Support solutions to be rebranded include:

Apex Support Portal to >  Juniper Support Portal  - support case management via a single, industry-leading platform.
Apex Gov Support to >  Juniper Gov Support  - secured support case management for governments or other businesses requiring added security.
Apex Partner Renewals to >  Juniper Partner Renewals  - self-service contract renewal for Partners.
JSAS Essentials/Apex Automated Analytics to >  Juniper Support Insights  - AI-driven support for operational health visibility and proactive, predictive insights across the entire Juniper portfolio.
Apex Service APIs to >  Juniper Service APIs  - direct integration between Customer and Juniper systems for efficient transaction processing and support.
Pex Chatbot to >  Juniper Digital Assistant  - automated question/answer support, and as needed transfer to live agent available 24/7.

In short, our solutions are changing in name only.  Our transformation goals remain the same, to enhance your support experience and to fulfill our vision for Experience First Services.
