The result of the debate was delete.

To add my own opinion to the list, a discussion of their strategy is problematic in an encyclopedia. Corporate strategies tend to be transient. They rarely have the sustainability necessary to create truly independent and verifiable articles. The HP Way might be an exception based on the volume of independent press coverage it received but even that is proving to be somewhat transient. In either case, it should be discussed in context whenever possible. In other words, this content might have been acceptable as an addition to the main Cisco Systems article even though it was found to be inappropriate to have added as an independent article.

Cisco on Cisco
Pure advertising/PR for a company's business strategy. Written solely by an editor or editors logging in from Cisco Systems IPs. Also Cisco@Work, but that's being handled as a copyvio. Red links in articles indicate that this is just the beginning of the campaign. Calton | Talk 6 July 2005 19:59 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete.... Lets modify it so that it is not a Ad for Cisco, but an analysis of Cisco's business practices with its highs and lows.
