Editor's Notes
As our customers continue to evolve as technology shifts around them, they look for a strong partner that will be with them for the long term.
Cisco’s financial strength demonstrates our staying power and our ability to continue to grow and innovate.
They ask themselves such questions as:
Will Cisco be around when I need them?
Does Cisco have the financial strength to invest in innovation?
Can we count on Cisco to provide a strong portfolio of integrated products and solutions?
In each case, the answer is “yes.” Cisco has weathered may economic storms and captured major market transition.
Growth Areas We Must Focus on for the Future

Lets begin with the million-dollar question – Wht is Digital Business Transformation?
Gartner defines this as “Digital business is the creation of new business designs by blurring the digital and physical worlds”
To transform into a successful digital business you will need 3 critical capabilities
Transform Processes and Business Models which leads to faster time to market and leaner operations
Explosion of connected devices disrupts value chains paving the way for Business Model disruption. By 2020, one million new devices will go online every hour which enabling quicker automated decisions driving efficiencies to a new level
Personalize Customer/Citizen experience which leads to increased customer loyalty and greater insight to predict future purchases
Why so?
Accenture surveyed ~13,000 consumers in 33 different countries and found that 66% i.e 2 out of every 3 consumers switched providers due to poor customer experience and by 2016 Gartner predicts that “89%i.e 9 out of every 10 companies will compete primarily on the basis of the customer experience
Empower their workforce for efficiency and innovation which leads to increased productivity and better employee retention
Again, why does this matter?
Gallup surveyed over 1000 employees each in about 142 countries representative of 98% of the world population and found that about 87% of employees are disengaged and when companies address this dissatisfaction and bring it town to 10%, their earnings per share jumps by a whopping 50%
These changes are forcing companies to become more digital when people and things interact to conduct business

I put the story of our journey in the below notes. This is not meant to talk word for word, but to pick the points that need to be delivered to the appropriate audience. Each of us have a style of presenting so use your style and speak to key points to get your message across. And it should be a flow and not intended to be a start / stop at each section. It is about it all coming together.
Start of Notes:
ITaaS - The Foundation of Cisco’s Digital Business
IaaS – Catalyst of our Services Architecture.
Starts with a solid foundation – which in our case we a solid Infrastructure which was the catalyst of our Services Architecture. Our first step was to virtualize / digitize the infrastructure assets of Network, Compute, Storage and Security.. And our key communications services. Which we really termed as Infrastructure as a Service and we branded it CITEIS – Cisco IT Elastic Infrastructure Services
PaaS – enabling orchestration.. Extending the Cloud
That was great because we were able to quickly deploy new core infrastructure services, but our development / business facing teams still needed to have other assets such as App Servers, Web Servers , DB schemas as well. It was still taking weeks to months to get that deployed. We took the same Networked Programmability / Automation mindset and we extended the Cloud so to speak. Moving simplicity up the stack…extending the cloud.
DaaS – Powering faster and scalable insights
This foundation of programmability and automation has allowed not only to look at the infrastructure assets but really look at areas like our Data Architecture. Pulling the same capabilities and disparate data sources and Virtualize them. Using a foundational data approach we used key technologies such as Cisco Composite to Virtualize many data assets and Hadoop to not only allow quick and scalable access to data, but really lay the beginnings of our Data as a Service model. Driving a set of data services to improve the visualization and getting much improved insights into data for fast and more precise decision making. We are taking the same self service, programmable and automated approach to data and we have recently deployed both Cisco Composite (Virtualization) and Enterprise Hadoop (Highly scalable / computations) on our Application Centric Infrastructure – will improve policy management of security and faster provisioning based on data needs.
CDaaS – Continuously delivering FASTER and More Secure!
Over the past 2 years we have focused heavily on improving our release capabilities. We had perfected the art of waterfall, in fact we made them faster, moving to approximately 24 releases per year with that approach. But many people later and still complex PLC processes we began to lay a foundation of agile. We quickly learned of all the silo’d agile activities and determined an approach to deliver software and other key assets of Planning to Release as a Services. We called it Continuous Delivery. There were many tools and methods, so we standardized on a set of tools and digitized the toolchain. We also implemented a standard training through the SAFE agile approach – for both IT and the business We learned that we have to approach the delivery of experiences and capabilities and one team (biz and IT) Over that 2 year period we went from 80/20 Waterfall to Agile to the opposite. And delivery at over 90% improved velocity and releasing – nearly any time.
APPaaS – Delivering Contextual Experiences and Insights, anywhere.
With this Services Everything approach, we have laid a great foundation for our Digital Business and experienced through our applications. At the end of the day, the business policy and process is delivered through applications – mobile, web, machine, IOT, and being able to collaborate across all types of applications. We often here the term bi-modal, multi-modal, or brownfield / greenfield. I believe there is one mode. FASTER and MORE SECURE! And having the ability to program and orchestrate apps through a solid services foundation of data and infrastructure is key. Thus we can really talk about Applications as a Service. And our aim is to embed Unified Collaboration capabilities (SPARK) into our business processes and how we work. Having data, voice, video an an interactive service to provide contextual experiences and insights. Examples are how we collaborate everyday together, but also how we have embedded collaboration into the Services (TAC Kitchen) and Sales (Collaborative deal approvals) processes.
The mindset and culture of simplicity, automation and gaining insights of our ITaaS journey are foundational to Cisco’s Digital Process. We are only touching the surface of what is possible, but the IT and more importantly business outcomes have been accelerated through this foundation.
End of Notes
This should also align very well to the first Digital Process slide – which shows the process and elements, next the blueprint slide which shows the steps, then this target slide to show and describe what we have done… and then subsequent to these three slides we can show the business outcomes. E.g. Supply Chain, Customer Service, Sales, and even IT.. Depending on the audience. In this case we can use the Supply Chain and Customer Service.
Chuck’s Slide: How We Will Transform
5 Digital Principles
Next we will go through examples which illustrate how we have applied each of the principles
This use case shows the end-to-end digitization of the Renewals process, which was previously very disconnected. This use case focuses on providing a frictionless experience for Renewals. Its about providing visibility to actionable insights, using data and analytics to determine the right time for action. The simplified process gives us insight like:
When to approach a customer
Opportunities for refresh or end of life products and also providing the migration path from old product to new
Overall simplified experience throughout the renewals cycle
This use case also showcases the simplification of policy & experience- before digitization, we must clean up our existing processes in the Data Foundation through data cleansing with common definitions and taxonomies.
We can simplify processes as much as we can, and automation can be used to further hide the complexity of systems and processes. This is an example of a Digital Assistant automating our commerce interactions.
Visibility is Key in Catching threats BEFORE they can do harm
Cisco is working hard to keep up with the threat landscape and our technology plays a vital role in this. And although the numbers seem daunting in terms of the amount of traffic we inspect, the number of network events we monitor, etc., the capabilities to automatically detect and remediate as well as retrospectively remediate are what allows us to deal with 95% of our incidents.
Automation is also playing a key role in dealing with the remaining 5% of incidents with capabilities such as context-aware security analytics, StealthWatch identifies known bad behavior or anomalous activity. For instance, if a user or machine normally only interacts with a few megabytes of network data a day but suddenly starts collecting many gigabytes of data in a short period of time, it could be hoarding data in preparation for exfiltration. StealthWatch can detect this activity by building baseline profiles to understand what normal, everyday traffic patterns looks like and then alarming on activity that falls outside accepted thresholds.
We want to stop ~95% of the bad stuff knowing that ~5% (advanced threats) will get through.
Incident Detection and Response (ID&R) promotes operational metrics back into the work flow process and provides attention on maturing our Data Loss Prevention service lifecycle, which is paramount at all levels of our service. These metrics shows how we are improving the service, providing value back into the organization, and ensuring that we are securing our customer’s assets:
Traffic and Events
27TB traffic inspected per day – equivalent to 2.2K hours of Blu-ray video
1.2T network events
425 devices detecting and preventing security incidents
Data Collected and Analyzed
4TB data collected and analyzed
15B NetFlow records analysed per day (Lancope)

Transactions Blocked
6M web transactions/day, 75K blocked automatically (WSA)
5.4M emails inspected, 4.1M blocked/day (ESA)
Seeing threats DURING an event:
Using Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) capabilities, we are able to detect more threats before damage occurs:
90% are desktop/laptop related
FY15-FY16 – 86% year over year increase in incidents detected
FY16-FY17 – projected 34% year over year increase in incidents detected
Progress year over year since FY13 per security solution:
Net/Net: Mean Time to Detection is below target
Containment continues to be our Achilles heel as we await strategic execution: ISE quarantine in our automated workflow to make an impact to our infected host containment metrics.

Product quality is a function of component quality, software defects and how we diagnose & support our products.
RMA are product returns. Analytics helped identify a category of returns that are completely avoidable. They are result of mis-diagnosis of the issue by the support personnel. Support case from customer is likely a result of mis-configuration or setup but we issue a return. Its costly for cisco and customer is frustrated as the new product has the same exact issue.
Analytics is now helping support identify the support cases which may likely fit this pattern and we have been able to reduce our return rates and improve customer satisfaction as a result. Machine learning / analytics can now help drive consistency in how we support our product and drive a measurable change to bottom line & customer sat.
Value metrics
• 50% reduction in UCS-B returns
• Its now being rolled out across support for all products

This slide is similar to slide #20- do we need both?
Automated metrics generated from analyzing the code and usage of the continuous delivery platform has been critical to drive the adoption of CD in IT.
We don’t need to ask or get status on adoption or security vulnerabilities or usage
Measure and get status directly from the platform / tools on which applications are leveraging it or not.
Measuring developer productivity. #s of lines of code, defects, # of check-ins
