Cisco Systems, Inc. ( NASDAQ&_160; CSCO, SEHK 4333) is a multinational corporation with more than 66,000 employees and annual revenue of US$39 billion as of 2008. Headquartered in San Jose, California, it designs and sells networking and communications technology and services. Cisco's stock was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average on June 8, 2009. It replaced General Motors which had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[2] In fiscal year 2009, Cisco realized $13.50 Billion in network services sales (mostly from “SMARTnet”), of which $7 Billion was revenue for 2009 and the remaining $6.50 Billion is documented as deffered revenue for multi-year SMARTnet service contracts.[3] Network maintenance services now accounts for 20% of Cisco's annual revenue - an all-time high. While Cisco was not the first company to develop and sell a router,[4] it was one of the first to sell commercially successful routers supporting multiple network protocols.[5] As the Internet Protocol (IP) became widely adopted, the importance of multi-protocol routing declined. Today, Cisco's largest routers are primarily used to deliver IP packets and MPLS frames.

1. Get Your Sales Reps to Sell Like Corky
November 20, 2009
What is the highest performing stock in terms of total return over the over the course of the past 40 years?
Its not Microsoft. No, its not Cisco Systems. It's not GE. It's not even Intel.
You ready?
Its Walgreen's Drug Stores.
Walgreen's? You gotta be kidding me! The drugstore chain? Yep, its true. How they did it is even cooler than that fact that they did it in the first place.
In his book Good to Great, Jim Collins investigates how they actually did it. And the answer is very simple. All that Cork Walgreen, the founder of Walgreen's did is that he took a long hard ... (read more)

2. Network Switches
November 19, 2009
A data management system of any size will eventually need network switches. In fact, a system that does not already have network switches is losing power, running less than efficiently, and costing the owner money they could use in other ways. Even the simplest of data management systems that has a minimum of servers, routers, and other data devices would be greatly enhanced by using network switches.
Network switches were the next logical step in routing data through a network. Hubs were originally used for this function, but as data use began to become more varied and specific, a device... (read more)

3. Comms Cabinet
November 19, 2009
The concept of using cabinets to house data processing equipment is an offshoot of railway switching systems, in which multiple relays and wiring harnesses could be placed in one central location. This idea is very suitable for data processing applications, due to the tremendous amount of cables and patch leads that are characteristic of even the simplest of data systems.
The term “comms” is actually a shortened version of “communications”, which was the next industry to adopt this very useful design concept. Broadcasting companies and other industries that worked with audio and video equ... (read more)

4. The Data Cabinet
November 19, 2009
The challenge facing many businesses today is how to run data servers and related hardware in an efficient way without overloading thermal capacities of these devices. The amount of power needed to drive storage units, servers, and routing management devices that are used in today’s online business community can become a cost-deficient equation, when combined with the cooling systems needed to keep the data center running trouble-free. Systems that run in an unconnected environment will waste power through excessive cabling, and those systems that attempt to reduce patching by piling devices t... (read more)

5. I love The Sound of the Point of Sale Counter
November 19, 2009
Even without knowing the term, the fact is you always come across POS systems every time you go shopping at department stores. It is where you take your orders or purchases for payment, issuance of receipt, and bagging. The term simply stands for point of sale. As often, this term is used to refer to a computerized cash register machine that is located at a corner, usually at the end portion of a shop or store and is used to record every purchase transaction. It can also print an official receipt. It has a storage space where you can keep money, checks, and charge slips in. This is basically t... (read more)

7. Why Some M&A Fail To Succeed
October 28, 2009
Limitations of M&A
One should know that M&A as a strategy for rapid growth can be risky and uncertain. Shareholders of acquired firms are likely to earn above-average returns, while shareholders of acquiring firms’ shares fall as soon as an intention to acquire is announced. This is indicative that investors do not see M&A as a vehicle for achieving any added value to the acquiring firm.
Over the years we have experienced the failure of major M&A. Some manages are rather concerned with empire-building strategies rather than maximising shareholder value; the bigger the firm, the bigge... (read more)
