1.1.2 Cisco's intelligent network
As a technological society, we are entering the fourth phase of the internet, which we call the internet of everything (IoE). Cisco’s intelligent network works at the centre of the IoE.
Cisco has been finding new ways to communicate and collaborate for years. The benefit of the IoE is derived from the combined impact of these connections and the value this increased connectedness creates as 'everything' comes online.
The next big wave is going to be around the internet of everyting. It will be implemented by combining things with processes, with business changes, with people. And, it will drive a productivity number, and a financial number, that is just mind-boggling.
