That won't happen... Cisco consumer and Cisco enterprise are entirely different beasts.
Cisco's track record on M&A being successful is actually the subject of a number of case studies... they generally do it really well and keep the CEOs and teams of the companies they acquire for a while.
- noobface 13y agoM&A over the past 5 years hasn't been as successful.
- davidu 13y agoThat's probably true, but I'd say that 5 years is a short window to look at for Cisco (but still, not disagreeing with you). In that timespan, outside of recent M&A (Meraki, Sourcefire), Tandberg was the only big one I can think of in those years... The small M&A is hard to gauge from a product standpoint, but many of the key people acquired have stayed.
