For more than 30 years, Cisco has been committed to changing the way the world works, and its partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) enables and empowers some of its most difficult mission needs. Over the Company's three decades it has helped the world connect to the Internet, harness the benefits of voice, video, and data communications-and blend technology and business together in ways that many thought were impossible.
Cisco looks at mission objectives holistically, taking a platform-centric approach to ensure that everything the Company delivers fits the overarching plan. The secured network that Cisco enables is the foundation of a successful digital transformation initiative. The Company builds applications on top of the network architecture, so that everything is tied together and interacts smoothly.
Cisco invests more than
USD 6 Billion a year in research and development, so that it may continue to drive innovative solutions as well as ensure the existing portfolio continues to evolve in support of customer requirements.
The Company's industry is subject to rapid technological developments, evolving standards, changes in customer requirements, and new product introductions and enhancements. Cisco's ability to enable the DoD's digital transformation, therefore, depends on its ability to continually advance its own offerings.
