Cisco Live

Cisco Live offers unparalleled opportunities to increase your knowledge of Cisco products, solutions and services via in-person events. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Association, Education and Events. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Cisco Live is based in San Diego, California. More on ciscolive.com.
