Cisco Networking, the world’s largest networking business unit inside Cisco, was drowning in fragmentation:
- 70+ Jira Data Center instances
- ~75 other tools
- Legacy work management and spreadsheets everywhere
In this customer story, Cisco leaders share how they partnered with Atlassian to consolidate 75+ systems into a single AI‑enabled Atlassian Cloud System of Work—and what it took to do so at enterprise scale.
With Atlassian Cloud Enterprise, Rovo, Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket, Xray, Forge, and Advisory Services, Cisco Networking has:
- Cut annual tooling costs by 54%
- Reinvested ~40% of OpEx back into the business within three years
- Accelerated program management reporting by up to 40x
- Made weekly status reporting ~24x faster
- Shifted 30% of engineering time from troubleshooting to innovation
- Unified 15,000+ users on a single Atlassian cloud platform
You’ll learn how Cisco:
- Turned a mandated exit from a legacy tool into a chance to redesign their System of Work
- Standardized taxonomy and workflows across hardware and software teams
- Replaced static PowerPoints with live Jira + Confluence dashboards for real‑time executive reporting
- Used Atlassian Rovo and Forge to build AI‑powered agents and custom apps that cut 10‑hour tasks down to 15 minutes
- Partnered with Atlassian Advisory Services to design cloud architecture, de‑risk migration, and manage change at scale
