Cisco is modernizing its enterprise data strategy by breaking down data silos and creating a scalable, AI-ready platform that supports self-service and innovation. To overcome the complexities of its vast data environment and accelerate real-time insights, Cisco rearchitected its data stack using Fivetran for automated data movement, Snowflake for centralized storage, and dbt for transformation and modeling. This approach has significantly reduced the operational overhead of pipeline maintenance, eliminated redundant data work, and improved data governance, while maintaining enterprise-grade security. The adoption of a shared data marketplace has empowered business users to independently access and explore trusted data sets, fostering a culture of decentralization. As Cisco advances its AI strategy, the integration of on-prem data sources through Fivetran's Hybrid Deployment capability aims to unify all data movement under a single platform, ensuring control and compliance. This modern infrastructure not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions Cisco to leverage AI for future innovations.
