Cisco SystemsCisco Systems is the world-wide leader in networking for the Internet. Cisco's networking solutions connect people, computing devices and computer networks, allowing people to access or transfer information without regard to differences in time, place or type of computer system. Cisco provides end-to-end networking solutions that publics use to build a unified information infrastructure of their own, or to connect to someone else's network. An end-to-end networking solution is one that provides a common architecture that delivers consistent network services to all users. The broader the range of network services, the more capabilities a network can provide to users connected to it. Cisco's offers the industry's broadest range of hardware products used to form information networks or give people access to those networks; Cisco IOS™ software, which provides network services and enables networked applications; expertise in network design and implementation; and technical support and professional services to maintain and optimise network operations. Cisco is unique in its ability to provide all these elements, either by itself or together with partners. In contrast to many technology companies, Cisco does not take a rigid approach that favours one technology over the alternatives and imposes it on customers as the only answer. Cisco's philosophy is to listen to customer requests, monitor all technological alternatives, and provide customers with a range of options from which to choose. Cisco develops its products and solutions around widely accepted industry standards. In some instances, technologies developed by Cisco have become industry standards themselves. Every day, Cisco and its customers are proving that networking and the Internet can fundamentally and profitably change the way companies do business. Cisco is one of America's greatest corporate success stories. Since shipping its first product in 1986, the company has grown into a global market leader that holds No. 1 or No. 2 market share in virtually every market segment in which it participates.Since becoming a public company in 1990, Cisco's annual revenues have increased from $69 million in that year to $6.44 billion in fiscal 1997 – nearly one hundred-fold in seven years. As measured by market capitalisation, Cisco is the third largest company on NASDAQ and among the top 40 in the world. Cisco's products are sold and supported through a world-wide network of direct sales representatives and business partners. Home
