There’s no higher-profile embodiment of Cisco’s architecture-to-business-solutions message than Cisco itself. The company is a rabid consumer and integrator of its own wireless, IP telephony, switching, routing and security dog food. Every quarter or so, all of Cisco’s business leaders present their groups’ IT strategies to Chambers and their peers, along with productivity improvements to be squeezed from those technology investments. Cisco says the technology and process changes it implemented last fiscal year boosted productivity, as measured by revenue per employee, by 27 percent, to $690,000.

It took me almost four years to really get it, but the fact is that the internal Cisco Global Network is indeed one of the most innovative enterprise environments in the world, and is most certainly the primary contributor to the company’s high productivity ratings.

If you’d like to read case studies on how Cisco uses it’s products/technologies to “enable” it’s own business, click here. They’re really well written, atleast some of them. My favorite so far: Cisco VPN Client Brings Flexibility and Cost Reduction to Cisco Remote Access Solution
