How Cisco IT Uses AON to Simplify Application Development and Maintenance

Cisco Systems face the challenge of to improve employee performance and service levels, Cisco Systems automates its processes by developing custom work applications. Cisco IT's approach to application development is to assign developers to one of two groups. To avoid the need to repeat development work for multiple environments and languages, Cisco IT wanted to implement common application functions in the network. Cisco IT is simplifying application development while also reducing development, capital, and operational costs by offloading certain application functions to the Application-Oriented Network (AON) module for Cisco switches and routers. AON is part of Cisco's vision for the Intelligent Information Network (IIN), which enables new levels of integration, collaboration, and productivity.
