Cisco's AI Strategy Aims to Bridge the Gap Between Innovation and Production

AI initiatives often struggle to move beyond pilots due to a lack of a connected technology ecosystem. According to Cisco's AI Readiness Index, organizations with strong AI foundations are four times more likely to move AI projects into production and 50% more likely to realize measurable business value.

Cisco has created Compatible Solutions for AI to help customers build on a trusted ecosystem instead of assembling AI solutions one integration at a time. This approach is tailored to the industries they serve, with different priorities, regulatory requirements, and ways of measuring success.

The use cases may vary, but the underlying requirement remains the same, infrastructure, software, and AI working together as a complete system. Cisco Compatible Solutions for AI combines Cisco infrastructure, including compute solutions powered by Intel, with an expanding ecosystem of independent software vendors.
