Today, networks are an essential part of business, education, government and home communication, and Cisco’s networking solutions are the foundation of these networks. Cisco has shaped the future of the internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, partners, shareholders and employees and has become a worldwide leader in networking – transforming how people connect, communicate and collaborate.
Cisco’s strategy is based on catching market transitions – the market transitions that affect our customers. With the proliferation of video and collaborative Web 2.0 technologies, the network continues to evolve from the plumbing of the internet – providing connectivity – to the platform that will change the way we work, live , play and learn. Cisco is truly dedicated to our customers and to creating long-lasting customer partnerships and working with customers to identify needs and provide solutions that support success.
Cisco and its employees are committed to environmental sustainability. Corporate and social responsibility is a key component of our culture. Cisco works to combine the power of innovation with collaboration to create a sustainable model for addressing global environmental challenges. Innovation is at the heart of what Cisco does, and collaboration – both internally and externally – helps fuel new ideas across Cisco along with customers and partners to combat environmental challenges.
