Remember when you were a little kid and were dared by your friends to stick pennies up your nose or swallowed one lying around? That was a parent’s nightmare! Luckily technology has advanced over the years and these are “simple” problems to solve, but one can never take chances when the well being of a family member is involved. Access to quality medical care in a timely manner is extremely important.
Now, imagine what your network can do to enable this.
How do you tap into global expertise? How do you bring the “doctor to your doorstep”? And how do you do it without compromising on the quality of healthcare?
These are problems we face today, and Cisco is here to help resolve them.
Today we are very excited to unveil the winners of our yearlong AXP developer contest. In this video, Sue Bostrom, executive vice president and chief marketing officer and Marie Hattar, vice president of Network Systems and Security Solutions at Cisco, announce the winners of the Cisco “Think Inside the Box” developer contest in this video.
Guys, imagine taking your wives out shopping and actually enjoying it. And ladies, what would you do to get rid of all the changing rooms and optimize your shopping time…now, wouldn’t that be FUN?
We’re all having a little fun as we march towards October 20th, when Cisco will unveil its architectural vision for Borderless Networks, along with a cool new Innovation that begins to enable some of these experiences. Check this cool video out:
Register here to attend Cisco’s virtual event on October 20th at 11:00 a.m. PST to get a first look at the new technologies Cisco is creating. If you are in other timezones or dimensions, don’t sweat. We are hosting this event across three different timezones. So pick that one that suits you best.
A few months ago, I travelled to Washington D.C. to attend the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC). In the hotel elevator, I met with two guests who both had a miniature koala attached prominently to their shirts. “Are you from Australia?” I asked. “Yes”, they smiled. “And we’re here to attend NECC.” The types of schools represented at the conference varied as greatly as their geographical locations. It was great to see the community effort for better education.
At the conference, I was impressed with how many schools were deploying the latest security technologies. But I was also struck to learn from a teacher that her school district had very little online security. “We don’t even have a password for our email, to give you an example”, she mentioned. As many of us are aware, cyberspace risks are real. The online world is an inseparable part of the learning environment for students, teachers and staff. There are many opportunities for the education community to come together to achieve better cybersecurity.
In the past few months we have been keeping you updated on the AXP developer contest – well, we’re getting ready to announce our winners!
This week, on October 8th, we will announce the three winners of the Cisco “Think Inside the Box” developer contest. We will unveil who will be awarded the first prize (US$50,000), the second prize (US$30,000), and the third prize (US$20,000) among our eight finalists who crossed the finishing line. Like we have mentioned in previous blog posts, these awards will be given to the person or team of innovators for the most creative and business-ready applications developed for the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR), by leveraging the Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP).
The judging panel comprised of external industry experts and Cisco executives had the tough job of evaluating the eight finalists from a pool of nearly 900 registrations from 75 countries.
