The idea of communication and networking has been always my interest, starting from 1999, when I was just 11 years old and I had a very ordinary computer. I had always wanted to connect my computer to other devices or other computers. But I could not because of lack of knowledge as well as information at that time. Moreover, lack of communication devices was another reason. My dream came true when I was accepted at College of science in Computer Department. Immediately after graduating from the
Cisco Systems Cisco System was incorporated as information technology organization which has become a leader in internet and networking industry. Cisco System was incorporated during the period of 1984 from the scientist of a university of Stanford, whose prime objective is to find an easier way to link various types of a computer system by developing a network protocol. During the period of 1986, the first system was shipped by Cisco and in current period it has transformed itself into a multi-national
Cisco Systems, Inc. Cisco’s networking hardware is a fundamental part of business, education, government and home communications. They have transformed how people communicate and collaborate over the Internet. An unexpected surge in demand for essential network products caught Cisco and its manufacturing partners off guard. Backorders and shortfalls abounded as sales attempted rebound, resulting in the new light of virtual inventory management. The Evolution of Cisco Cisco Systems – Company
In addition, at the time, the economy was doing great, therefore, using the push system to stock pile inventory was acceptable. However, during the dot-com bust of the 2000’s, its sales and the demand for its products greatly decreased. Unfortunately, during this time, Cisco discovered that it possessed an abundance of inventory, and, wrote off more than $1 billion in inventory. Consequently, the company learned that acquiring
These two approaches are different simply because the “push” system was based on best-guess forecast and entailed a large inventory, whereas with the “pull” system approach, inventory matches supply and demand and reorder data. Absolutely, the state of the economy determines which approach should be used. As Larry Lapide, director of demand management at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics stated, “during a strong economy and when cash flow is loosened, many companies can get by without

Calpine and Cisco debate over Coyote Valley Throughout the years the technology industry has been growing with incredible speed expanding all over California. San Jose is known as the capital of Silicon Valley where major technology companies and start-ups call home. With fast spreading companies it is necessary to have enough power in San Jose to supply the increase in energy demand. Recently there was a plan proposed to the City of San Jose by Calpine Corporation to build a power plant in
Cisco’s stock with a target price of $32.50, a 50% upside from its current price. Cisco has a solid competitive advantage, because there are not many strong competitors in the market. The other firms show a higher P/E ratio than Cisco because they have a lower market share. The company shows a constant growth. Cisco markets its products globally with the highest market shares than its competitors. The main risks for Cisco are worsening of economic conditions or exchange rates. The company has a good
diversified revenue stream of over $30 billion annually. Their business plan includes a $2 billion return of operating expenses through the application of breakthrough technology in their information systems. The center of this initiative is called DowNET and it is the first global wide information system to converge data, e-mail, faxes, video, and voice into a single network. (e-business@DOW, 2001). The stated objectives for DowNET are the following (Dow Webcast, 2001, May 21): Harness technology

success of all operations. However, it depends on the ability to make sense of the operational environment and to anticipate those factors that influence operations, both negatively and positively. Unfortunately, the structure and behavior of the systems that commonly comprise these factors suggest that making sense of operational environments is a “wicked problem”. A systematic examination of the population, the insurgency, and the counterinsurgent using the eight OE variables is critical to the
Hazard mitigation is an important plan for societies and communities to devise, that can prepare them for various types of hazards. The mitigation process involves actions that can help to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with hazards. The process can have many positives to it, and with a mitigation plan in place, states will be safer and ready for anything. With any plan, hazard mitigation has certain tools involved. The tools are Preventions, Property Protection, Public Education and Awareness
