Solving Businesses' Challenges
Today, every business is seeking innovation, and success is measured in speed and business agility. Customers are transforming by innovating.
Cisco are helping customers achieve business agility – the capacity to change – by building an Architecture that securely connects any user, on any device, on any network to any application.
Cisco has a long history of solving businesses challenges. In 1984, two academics from Stanford University wanted to email each other from their respective offices, but technological shortcomings did not allow such communication. A technology had to be invented to deal with disparate local area protocols, as a result of solving their challenge, the multiprotocol router was born.
Cisco has continued this focus on solving business challenges and has become a leading provider of networking solutions. Growing from a manufacturer of switches and routers in the 1980’s to a provider of complex telecommunications, cybersecurity, and networking solutions. Cisco provides a wide range of products and services that allow businesses to stay connected and productive.
Ubiquity
Cisco is present in almost every corner of the networking world. This gives them an unrivalled level of insight into how networks operate, and helps them to develop solutions that are truly cutting edge.
Security
Cisco is one of the most trusted names in network security. They have a proven track record of keeping networks safe from attacks, and their products are used by some of the largest companies in the world. Cisco’s dedication to security is baked into everything they do. Cisco is experienced at handling even the most complex security scenarios.
Scalability
There aren’t many companies that offer both a small business router as well as services to huge global enterprises and telecommunications companies. Cisco’s solutions are designed to scale up or down as needed, making them ideal for businesses of all sizes. Their products can be easily adapted to changing needs, making them a long-term investment.
