"It's an opportunity to be back in vogue," Chambers said, speaking Tuesday at the conference CIO WSJ network here.
Cisco has experienced interruptions as its core networking business has faced increasing competition from new network schemes using low-cost hardware controlled by independent providers software.Technology sell hardware such as servers, routers and switches are all in risk of digital disruption, said Mr. Chambers. If I do not move from selling boxes to the sales results, would stay again, he said.
Mr. Chambers said that Disco has changed more in the last 12 months in the 30 year history of the company. The company was reorganized and moved from the product silos to integrate horizontally. Cisco has removed 62 business units. The company also replaced 41% of its customer sales executives who moved to the store based on the results.

However, he acknowledged that information technology has become once again a boardroom level discussion because technology is so deeply rooted in business strategy. Cisco CIO Rebecca Jacoby is an important part of the capacity Mr. Chambers' to make this transformation.
