How Chuck Robbins decided to 'change everything' at Cisco and why it's working
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Chuck Robbins minces no words in describing how he took the baton from Silicon Valley legend John Chambers and began to radically remake Cisco Systems Inc.
“Now, we view them as more of a service provider that connects hardware and services,” says Mohoeb, who plans to shift to a Cisco subscription model in a few years. “No question Adobe and Microsoft are tremendous companies that have done great transitions to the cloud, but they have a number of pure software assets,” Robbins said. “We are predominantly a hardware company. This is more complicated.”
A key driver is demand for its subscription-based Catalyst 9000 family of network switches, the fastest-growing product in Cisco’s history. The software-rich Catalyst 9000 was introduced in 2017 to offer organizations integrated advanced security, automation and better performance as they need it via a paid subscription plan.
