Cisco Expands Simple and Secure Portfolio to Help Small Businesses ThriveSAN JOSE, Calif., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Cisco is accelerating its focus on serving small businesses by announcing new offers tailored to the small business buyer. In November 2019, Cisco introduced the new Cisco 'Designed for Business' portfolio at Partner Summit. Now the portfolio is growing with the addition of Cisco technology that originally powered Fortune 100 organizations, and can now bring the same innovation to meet the needs of small businesses. Small business is big business and accounts for 44 percent of all IT spending – as a segment it's faster growing than the enterprises segment[1] Now more than ever, small businesses need to be agile when digitizing their business models. Ultimately, technology is critical to helping them grow their revenue, optimize their customer experiences and differentiate themselves to remain competitive. Small businesses need to connect securely and focus on protecting their users, data and devices at all times. To help address these needs, and allow small businesses to focus on their core activities, Cisco is announcing brand new updates to the Cisco 'Designed for Business' portfolio bringing together the power of machine learning, AI and cloud-driven solutions, and created to make buying, installation and maintenance simple. The simplified experience includes:
"Our mission at Stratus Information Systems is to find the right networking solutions for our SMB customers that can free them up to focus on their core businesses rather than the complexity of a pieced together network and security products.

Whether it's the cloud-managed Meraki portfolio or the zero-config Cisco Business Products or the new wireless mobile application it makes it simpler for us and our customers to install, manage and expand."
