	Cisco Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While Cisco was not the first company to develop and sell a router (a device that forwards computer traffic from one network to another), it did create the first commercially successful multi-protocol router to allow previously incompatible computers to communicate using different network protocols.
		The name cisco Systems (with the lowercase "c") continued in use within the engineering community at the company long after the official company name was changed to Cisco Systems, Inc. Users of Cisco products can still see the name ciscoSystems occasionally in bug reports and IOS messages.
		Cisco received a 100% rating on the Corporate Equality Index released by the Human Rights Campaign starting in 2004, the third year of the report.

	Cisco Systems (CSCO) - Investorville
		Cisco pretty much invented the commercial Internet by building most of the routers that carry the global network's digital signals, but that was before Chambers even arrived at the company from previous sales jobs at IBM and Wang.
		Cisco is the new competitor, but the old companies are adopting Cisco's core technology for their next generation of products.
		Cisco Systems (CSCO) 79 3/4 +3/8: You have probably already read that Cisco has overtaken Microsoft (MSFT) to become the largest company in the world, but to focus on the specifics of these two companies would be to miss a more important paradigm shift that has lessons extending beyond a CSCO/MSFT story.

		Cisco's software allowed the data to be read by any kind of computer on the network, even across different operating systems.
		Cisco is to the 1990s what Microsoft was to the 1980s and IBM was to the 1970s: a big, smart company positioned with the right technology at the right time.
		Cisco's executive salaries (not counting stocks and bonuses) are only about 25 percent of the industry average: Chambers brings in $250,000; former CEO John Morgridge earns a mere $50,000 as chair.

	AskMen.com : Cisco Systems
		When Cisco was planning what and where it would attack over the next years, Senior Management felt that the company would next focus on the telecom carrier market.
		What made this far more ingenious was that Cisco's manufacturers were independent, allowing Cisco to forego capital-intensive initiatives and focus on the more efficient aspects of this market.
		What made Cisco grow so much faster is that unlike Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) who did not practice what they preached (until recently), Cisco's own ERP cycle was online, allowing Cisco to wring out efficiency while maintaining high quality levels that would make Jack 'Six-Sigma' Welch drool.

	Cisco adds two to its fold - Mar. 16, 2000
		While Thursday's acquisition news was run-of-the-mill to most Cisco watchers - executives have said they expect to make as many as 25 deals this year - the company's decision to buy InfoGear, more consumer-oriented business, was a little out of character, according to Michael Neiberg, an analyst at Chase HandQ.
		Cisco's products are mainly used in corporate and Internet network infrastructures, and the company has not had a big presence in the home.
		Cisco said it plans to use InfoGear's technology to give its customers the ability to remotely manage and upgrade information appliances from a central location and deliver customized content.

		Cisco's overall TBR score decreased to 6.77, from 6.91 in the previous quarter, due to decreases in the market share metric for remote access, a decrease in the manufacturing metric for fixed asset turns, and slight decreases across several business model metrics.
		Cisco's manufacturing strategy score decreased to 7.86 this quarter, from 8.26 last quarter, mainly due to a decrease in its fixed asset turns metric of 15.72, which is still very high compared to the trailing average of all the companies at 7.82.

		Cisco is forcing its competitors, mainly Lucent, Nortel, and Alcatel, to play catch-up and apply considerably more resources and effort to implement similar systems and restructure their organizations around information technology.
		Cisco is at risk that its market timing will be thrown off during the next three or four quarters, so we expect Cisco to mitigate the risk through continued relationship building and key acquisitions.
		Although Cisco is leading the charge to promote the outsourcing of networks and applications to service providers, it must be cautious that customers do not move their applications and data out of the enterprise data center at a faster rate than Cisco can capture the carrier and ASP infrastructure contracts.
