Client Example: Cisco Systems
For Cisco Systems, provided about 190 studies over 6 years. Key examples include the usability services for two ease of use tools, Fast Step(TM) and ConfigMaker. These were rolled across a large number of products that have become the best selling products in Cisco's history -- and helped Cisco's Small/Medium Business products grow from $250 million in revenue to a run rate of over $6 billion in a recent quarter -- 24X revenue in 6 years. Also provided about 90 studies to Cisco.com, Cisco's Web site, the world's #1 E-commerce Web site. Cisco.com provides many contributions to Cisco such as E-Commerce revenues of about 90% of the company's gross revenues and resolving nearly 80% of its customers' support needs. Also provided usability for the redesign of Cisco's global Intranet, the platform by which Cisco operates internally.
