Cisco

Cisco Systems is among the leading multinational corporations in the world in terms of service provision in communications technology, networking and the sale of electronics to various consumers in the world.

This initially decided to diversify their mode of operation by strategically developing routers that offered simultaneous support to various networking protocols.

The latest of such acquisitions has been the purchase of a company dealing in mobile technology i.e. Starent Networks and a group of Moto Development. The Moto Group eventually ended up developing a Flip camera for video recording which now bore the brand of Cisco Systems.

One of the most brilliant ways that Cisco has ensured its continual success is through introduction of various career certifications. With five certification levels and eight possible paths of choice, Cisco has ensured that its products are professionally studied and used. From its first inception in 1997, this learning program has become a provider of interactive hands-on activities to it’s over 900,000 student’s. With prior exposure to Cisco systems, these students eventually end up preferring to use Cisco products should they ever be faced with a decision between two vendor products.

To ensure worldwide reception of its courses, Cisco offers its courses in multiple of languages. It supports both alumni and students to ensure the success of their endeavors whether entrepreneurial, educational or occupational. The company tries to improve socioeconomic conditions for communities in the world through increase to opportunities both educational and career wise (Huang 45). It extents learning to student with disability and those in developing countries and thus help in bridging the digital divide. It is thus not a surprise that it received the Ron Brown Award due to its exemplary relation with employees and the communities.
