Cisco Systems is the worldwide leading supplier of networking equipment for the Internet. The company sells hardware (routers and switches), software, and services that make most of the Internet work. Cisco was founded in 1984 by a husband and wife team who worked in the computer operations department at Stanford University. They named the company cisco—with a lowercase c, short for San Francisco, and developed a logo that resembled the Golden Gate Bridge, which they frequently traveled.
Cisco went public in 1990 and the two founders left the company shortly thereafter, due to conflicting interests with the new president and CEO. Over the next decade, the company grew exponentially, led by new-product launches such as patented routers, switches, platforms, and modems—which significantly contributed to the backbone of the Internet. Cisco opened its first international offices in London and France in 1991 and has opened a number of new international offices since then. During the 1990s, Cisco acquired and successfully integrated 49 companies into its core business. As a result, the company’s market capitalization grew faster than for any company in history—from $1 billion to $300 billion between 1991 and 1999. In March 2000, Cisco became the most valuable company in the world, with market capitalization peaking at $582 billion or $82 per share.
By the end of the 20th century, although the company was extremely successful, brand awareness was low—Cisco was known to many for its stock price rather than for what it actually did. Cisco developed partnerships with Sony, Matsushita, and US West to co-brand its modems with the Cisco logo in hopes of building its name recognition and brand value. In addition, the company launched its first television spots as part of a campaign entitled “Are You Ready?” In the ads, children and adults from around the world delivered facts about the power of the Internet and challenged viewers to ponder, “Are You Ready?”
Surviving the Internet bust, the company reorganized in 2001 into 11 new technology groups and a marketing organization, which planned to communicate the company’s product line and competitive advantages better than it had in the past. In 2003, Cisco introduced a new marketing message, “This Is the Power of the Network. Now.” The international campaign targeted corporate executives and highlighted Cisco’s critical role in a complicated, techn ...

Strategic IT Transformation at Accenture
In 2001 the firm then known as Andersen Consulting took the bold step of separating from its
parent, Arthur Andersen. Rebranded as Accenture, this new organization had a bright future, but
it also faced the challenge of building a new IT infrastructure to support a global organization that
consulted on leading-edge technology. Frank Modruson, Accenture’s chief information officer
and the person responsible for carrying forward the IT transformation challenge from 2002 on,
had ambitious plans for the new technology infrastructure that was to replace Arthur Andersen’s
legacy systems. (See Exhibit 1 for the Accenture IT organizational structure.)
Difficult decisions had to be made. Should Accenture continue managing technology
platforms with a decentralized approach, in which each country chose its own IT platforms and
had the autonomy to run them? Or should the firm take a mixed approach, in which the same
standard applications would run throughout the enterprise but would be managed independently
by individual offices? Or should Accenture espouse a “one-firm” approach and boldly shoot for a
centralized implementation of its most critical systems, with all its offices interconnected on the
same “instance” of a software platform? Furthermore, should the firm retain its traditional
conception of IT as a cost center, or should it regard IT as a service provision center that
generated measurable value for the organization? These questions, and the answers formulated by
Modruson and his team, drove Accenture’s CIO organization to undertake one of the most
remarkable IT transformations in a global organization in recent years.
History of Accenture
The Arthur Andersen accounting firm was founded in 1913 to meet the requirements of new
tax regulations enacted when the Federal Reserve System was established that same year. As
Andersen expanded across the globe, the firm decided in 1954 to differentiate its practice from
the work of its competitors by offering consulting services within its accounting audit practice ...
Ericsson Technology Review - Issue1 2015
First, I welcome you to the new Ericsson Technology Review. For some months now, we have been working on how to continue to deliver our in-depth technical insights this journal is renowned for, but also how to offer a broader perspective on technology developments in ICT. So here it is...
I am delighted to be able to share some of my thoughts and the stories of Ericsson experts – their perspectives, concerns, and insights on advancements being made in technology.
Perhaps the most obvious change we’ve made is the name of the journal. As industries merge, overlap, and collaborate more, we find ourselves changing too. I daresay the situation is the same everywhere. Today, Ericsson’s experts have different sets of skills compared with just a few years ago. Our customers also have different problems: subscribers are more demanding, and technology is more complex as it weaves its way deeper into the fabric of our lives. Some of the people I have conversations with today work in businesses that didn’t exist, even a couple of years ago. So, in an attempt to clarify what this journal is about (reviewing technology), we added the word technology to its name.
To our long-standing readers, I would like to emphasize that the fundamental nature of our content – in-depth analyses of specific technologies, their consequences and benefits – hasn’t changed.
The biggest change comes in the form of a new technology trends section. As the CTO of a global ICT player, I am in the fortunate position of hearing about all kinds of innovations that are shaping our industry, and I get to hear them from the multiple perspectives of many different experts. And while technology development often follows an innumerable set of investigation paths, some of them tend to stick out. So, together with a couple of Ericsson experts, I have highlighted the five trends that I believe all of us in ICT should keep an eye on in the coming year. I'd say that virtualization, network slices, more data, more mobile, security, and billions of things are today's primary drivers in ICT.
Otherwise, it’s business as usual... Every month, we publish a new article online. Perhaps not surprisingly, 5G is on the agenda, including a vision for the core network, how transport networks will need to evolve, and how 5g will enable remote control. We’ll round off the year with some insights into cryptography and designing secure algorithms.
