We are driven by our passion for customer success, but a positive customer experience in a multi-vendor solution world can be challenging.

How Cisco U. Drives Customer Experience

According to Thimaya Subaiya, Senior Vice President and GM, Customer Experience at Cisco, "There are a lot of people involved in the customer experience. It's not just one company. It's the partners involved, it's the customers themselves. If you look at today's world, especially in a cloud-based world, nobody is depending on one vendor to solve their problems. Companies can depend on 50-100 vendors, in some cases, to solve various problems."

Cisco U. makes it simple for our learners to thrive in our modern, multi-vendor world. By offering Cisco learning content, alongside third-party training, Cisco U. delivers a holistic solution training experience.
