Cisco Introduces Cisco IQ, a Unified AI Interface to Accelerate Time to Value

Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) has announced the launch of Cisco IQ, a breakthrough AI-powered digital interface that brings real-time insights, on-demand assessments, troubleshooting and personalized learning, automation and agents from across professional services and support into one powerful experience.

Purpose-built for the AI era, where technology complexity can hinder essential operational agility, Cisco IQ brings together automation, AI-powered intelligence, and decades of deep Cisco expertise in a single digital experience, helping customers to plan, deploy, manage, secure, and optimize technology investments faster and more easily. Its proactive, predictive, and highly personalized features put customers a step ahead, helping them to reduce complexity, boost resiliency, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

“Cisco IQ is our boldest step yet in reimagining how customers interact with Cisco —from planning and design to optimization and transformation,” said Liz Centoni, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience Officer, Cisco. “With AI at its core, Cisco IQ doesn’t just react. It intelligently anticipates, personalizes and transforms how you assess, deploy and operate, providing one connected experience to reduce complexity and empower IT teams to act with clarity and confidence.”

Cisco IQ helps to address this reality by transforming services and support from reactive fixes to strategic, predictive enablers — helping to reduce operational friction and cognitive load and enable earlier intervention. For customers, the result is a more resilient IT operation that can help focus resources on innovation and business transformation.
