Cisco Looks To Enhance Web Productivity
Filed at 8:11 p.m. EST
By Amy Rogers for Computer Reseller News, CMPnet
Got a browser? Cisco Systems says it can make you a more productive worker.
Cisco next week will announce a framework, called Workforce Optimization solution, aimed at giving customers the tools to help clients increase employee productivity through deployment of Web-based applications.
Steve Bernstein product manager for the new solution, said Cisco has signed on Ernst & Young and KPMG to aid Cisco's customers in implementing systems.
"We're not out to create a catalog of partners, but to focus on [companies] that have the skills, and to bring them through our knowledge-transfer program," Bernstein said.
Cisco will unveil Workforce Optimization solution on Tuesday by discussing details of partnerships with vendors with various application specialties and unveiling best practices culled from Cisco's own experience and that of its customers and partners.
"We are the case study," said Steve Bernstein, product manager for the solution, adding that Cisco has measured some $54 million in savings by implementing applications that simplify employee purchasing, let human-resources staff negotiate better deals with benefits providers, and automate mundane back-office functions such as data entry.
Bernstein said the multi-million dollar savings came from reduced expenses, cost savings and enhanced employee productivity.
Cisco is teaming with Ariba Technologies, whose flagship product focuses on online procurement; Extensity, and its Web-based expense-reporting software; Oblix and its LDAP-based corporate directory; and PeopleSoft for its human-resources applications.
Cisco's own IP/TV application, streaming software acquired in its purchase of Precept Software, also figures in the new solution. Cisco announced a comparable solution for e-commerce earlier this year.

Eric,
Superb "Execution" on jach's part wouldn't you say? Obviously he didn't make the same move 50 or more days ago.
"hee hee ho ho ha ha ..... heh heh", as our wizard would say.

Welcome to the thread!
I look for absolute performance being a long term investor.
It looks like he (or she) seeks minimal returns.
To each their own!

Yep Me too. FORE is ripe for picking....not to be confused with company performance. Nonetheless...it's all about making a buck ain't it.
Still, you missed the point of the discussion...which was that historically your guidance hasn't been accurate...

Hi Eric.
Does anyone know the csco e release date? The si calendar has it for 5/11, which sounds way off to me. I've owned this for years, and don't remember any releases more than 5 days after the end of the q.I would have thought 5/4.
Off topic: Also, msft's is supposedly 4/22. Now I've seen them go as late as this but it is unusual.
TIA
