| | December 20166CIOReviewCisco's 2016 campaign "There's Never Been a Better Time" advocates everyone to deem how the network can solve the world's biggest problems. The company is on a mission to change the world, evolved from a niche router vendor to the de facto standard for all things 'networking'. Digital transformation is reshaping the world faster than the past times. Businesses that understand how to exploit the power of the digital era will leapfrog the growing antagonism. Those who are unable to keep pace will cease to exist and many are doomed to go out of business. For that reason, Cisco is telling us that there has never been a better time to do something different and something amazing. Take for example how there has never been a better time to make a city smart, enhance the network or to change the existing infrastructure.Cisco approaches digital much the same way it has done towards other markets--with an architectural story. This is lead by the Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) -- a radical new approach to networking designed for the digital era launched early this year. As customers embrace mobility, cloud, analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to digitize their business, IT teams are struggling to keep up with the ever-increasing complexity of the network, sophistication of security attacks and growing customer expectations. Cisco realizes that traditional networks simply could not scale to meet the increasing demands of the digital business. A new network was needed for the digital era--a network designed from the ground up to be flexible, programmable and open. One can certainly say Cisco through the depth of their network and IT experience is assisting hordes of organizations around the world to create revenue opportunities, lower costs, reduce risks, and ensure compliance--all the while simplifying the network. Taking organizations to the next level are the solution providers who are offering numerous Cisco networking solutions to enhance productivity. Through this issue we bring forth 20 such solution providers who are walking on the path of the networking giant and trying to offer creative yet unique solutions.We present "20 Most Promising Cisco Solution Providers".Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comShaping the Digital EraEditorialCopyright © 2016 ValleyMedia, Inc.
