Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. Today, networks are an essential part of business, education, government and home communications, and Cisco's Internet Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions are the foundation of these networks.
With more than 47,000 employees worldwide, Cisco offers industry-leading products and solutions in the company's core development areas of routing and switching, Cisco has been at the heart of many historic changes in technology, and that continues to be true today. Cisco helped catalyze the industry's move toward IP and, now that it is fully underway, the company is at the center of fundamental changes in the way the world communicates.
