What innovations have you made that will help you contribute to Cisco's IT operations?

"In my last position, I noticed that my team was producing redundant documents which detailed similar aspects of a hardware development project. It occurred to me that each engineer was working in their own silo and was unaware of what other team members were focused on. I researched several collaboration tools and recommended to the management team how we could reduce redundancy, increase collaboration among the team, and shorten the time it took to design a piece of hardware. Management agreed to a trial of the systems. We found that the software would be effective in accomplishing each one of these objectives. The organization implemented the collaboration tool and realized immediate benefits. We were able to cut hardware development times by 25% and reduce the cost of developing a new hardware piece by 15%. I would continue to look for opportunities like this to help Cisco optimize its IT operations."
