A very dynamic presentation featuring live demonstration of situations in high-risk environments that can be mitigated with Cisco solutions, such as ore workers.
Max showed how rapid advances in technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are radically changing the way networks are deployed and operated based on the 2020 Global Network Trend Report. With 3 key tips:
- Intuitive networking takes IT business value where SDN couldn’t
- AI increases human capabilities – accelerates IBN
- Organizations with significant talent and operation gaps – IT must break these silos
Also highlighted the importance of the human side in this process and how an environment that values diversity is more innovative!

Social responsibility must be embedded into every business.” And he reinforces Cisco’s commitment to be the bridge to this transformation.
