Industry Member Profile

Cisco® is the worldwide leader in networking, transforming how people connect, communicate, and collaborate. Our technology is changing the nature of work and the way we live. Cisco's Smart+Connected Communities initiative helps transform physical communities into connected communities so that they can:

Realize sustainable economic growth
Improve city and county management
Enable environmental sustainability through resource management and operational efficiencies
Enhance quality of life

Cisco understands how important it is for governments and their private sector partners to help provide a thriving, safe community where constituents are free to live, work, learn, and play.

Constituents living in Smart+Connected Communities have access to information and services that enrich their lives, enjoying solutions for the home, for schools, for transportation, and more. We call this the "Community+Connect" experience.

Cisco has created solutions that can help with the planning and day-to-day operations and management of a community. We refer to this as "Community+Exchange."

Founded in 1984, Cisco pioneered the development of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies. This tradition continues with the development of routing, switching, and other networking-based technologies such as application networking services, collaboration tools, home networking, security, storage area networking, Cisco TelePresence® systems, unified communications, unified computing, video systems, and wireless systems.

As an innovator in the communications and information technology industry, Cisco and our valued partners sell Cisco hardware, software, and services to governments and businesses of all sizes, as well as to educational institutions, service providers, and consumers.

An integral part of Cisco's business strategy is strong corporate social responsibility. Beyond our investments in social programs and commitment to environmentally conscious operations and products, we are proactively engaged with governmental, scientific, and social leaders around the world. The goal of these efforts is to help develop solutions to climate change, to create economic and educational opportunities, and to address other pressing social and environmental issues.

Our technology is changing the nature of work and the way we serve, educate, and defend.
