Merging the Internet and Intranet into One

Cisco has had a great intranet for 20 years; not perfect, but one of the best on the planet.

Last summer Cisco underwent some remarkable internal changes, including changes in the executive suite with a new CEO, and their internal network. Cisco ditched their home grown enterprise social network, and instead replaced it with Jive. It also made the daring decision to create a single online user experience with a single web content management platform, Adobe Experience Manager, whereby all (most) employees, customers, and partner companies would by default interactively engage with the California-based technology behemoth via one web property: Cisco.com.

The new Cisco intranet was the subject of a deep-dive intranet case study webinar, hosted by myself and Cisco’s intranet architect, Elijah Lovejoy. A look at the slides from the webinar provides visual intelligence on how progressive Cisco has become with respect to the intranet, and IP technology convergence.
