The difference this time around: In the mid-90s those productivity gains were based on big enterprise resource planning rollouts that could wreck a company. Today, Chambers is talking implementations of Web 2.0 tools and collaboration.

  • And there’s a payoff. Chambers said that collaboration tools and Cisco’s Telepresence technology saved the company $150 million a year in travel expenses.
  • “For the first time collaborative IT will be so intertwined with the business strategy you won’t know the difference between the two,” he said.
  • Chambers noted cloud computing will become a mesh of interconnected networks. Cloud computing “is just another evolution of the Internet.” On software as a service, Cisco said WebEx use internally is up 2,500 percent with discussion forums and blogging has also increased dramatically
