**We Are Cisco**

WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference. Here’s how we do it. We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company, and a security company, and a blockchain company, and an AI/Machine Learning company We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do -you can’t put us in a box But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it).
