What people are saying…
• “What investors would like is to see them (Cisco) more focused on their core
market, like routers, switches and data centers." -Morningstar analyst Grady
Burkett, March ’11
• “[CEO John] Chambers had to eat crow and issue a memo, admitting Cisco "lost focus"
thanks to its plan to move into 30 areas that had little-to-nothing to do with its core
business, network gear.” -Business Insider, April ’11
• Cisco shuts down Flip 2 years after paying $590M, lays off 550 employees, April ’11
• “WebEx is the most likely to be sold as it is less integrated with Cisco, not part of the
core router business, and more likely to attract a buyer.” – Information Week, May ’11
• Cisco shuts down Umi Telepresence, January ’12
• “It‟s expensive and bulky. WebEx is exactly the kind of a company that is being disrupted
by new web startups, who are creating cheaper and better alternatives to older web
applications.” -Michael Arrington, founder & former co-editor, TechCrunch, after Cisco
acquired WebEx
