Summary

Cisco Systems faced challenges with its fragmented enterprise search experience across various departments, leading to difficulties in information findability and duplicated efforts. To address this, Cisco transitioned to Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) to consolidate its Elasticsearch operations into a single, managed service. This move allowed for seamless upgrades, secure and on-demand cluster provisioning, centralized maintenance, and improved operational efficiency without the need for custom development. ECE quickly became integral to Cisco's operations, powering tools like the SalesConnect app and the sales compensation reporting system, which significantly reduced report generation times. Cisco's adoption of ECE has resulted in increased innovation, agility, and faster achievement of business goals, with applications extending to analytics, personalized recommendations, and data visualization through Kibana.
