This is certainly the case with Cisco. Instead, Cisco listens to its customers' requests and keenly watches all technological alternatives. In this way, Cisco can give customers a range of options from which to choose. Cisco develops its products and solutions around widely accepted industry standards. In some instances, the technologies developed by Cisco have themselves become industry standards.
Cisco is one of America's greatest corporate success stories.
Cisco's operation is the perfect example of the power of Infinite and Zero that I mentioned earlier. Today, half of Cisco's Net-generated orders feed directly to Cisco's suppliers. No Cisco employees are involved, and no paper mountains are generated. Productivity climbs, costs drop, final prices drop, and profits climb. For Cisco, the future is now.
