Cisco Networking halved TCO by centralizing teams on one Atlassian cloud platform

Cisco Networking consolidated 75+ legacy tools and instances into a single AI-enabled System of Work, powered by the Atlassian Cloud Enterprise platform. This transformation cut annual tooling costs by 54%, reinvested ~40% of OpEx back into the business, shifted 30% of engineering time from troubleshooting to innovation, and accelerated program management reporting by 40x for 15,000+ users.

Challenge: A fragmented ecosystem of 70+ Jira instances and dozens of tools created silos, high costs, and limited visibility across teams.

Solution: Cisco unified its tools into a single Atlassian Cloud platform with standardized workflows, integrated reporting, and AI-driven automation.

Impact: The transformation reduced costs, boosted efficiency and reporting speed, and enabled greater innovation and collaboration at scale.
