Digital infrastructure is the combination of hardware, software, networks and services required to support digital (web, mobile, social or video) for an enterprise. Supported by IT, the digital infrastructure allows an organization to deliver digital solutions, innovation and services to its employees, partners and customers.

Cisco’s digital infrastructure supports many platforms including CEC, wikis, WebEx, Jive for both employees and customers, mobile web and Cisco.com to ensure the customers and partners have a successful digital experience. They work with InfoSec on security compliance, upgrade the platforms to improve performance and usability, continually test and push the systems to achieve maximum performance and look ahead and innovate to meet new and ever-changing requirements.
Cisco.com was recently “gold certified” for Continuous Delivery through a rigorous and multi-faceted evaluation process, one of only a handful of platforms and services designated for this high honor at Cisco – a testament to the partnership between IT and the business groups to deliver with increasing velocity and the ability to pivot, adjust, and re-prioritize while achieving extraordinarily high quality in overall performance.
