"• Five years ago it took Cisco 14 days to close its books each quarter. Now, with the "virtual close," using powerful Internet technology, Cisco executives have real-time, daily access to company financial information, empowering them and their employees to instantly react to market shifts and changing business requirements."

I didn't know that -- what an incredible feat for a company of such size and scope !!!
I used to own a restaurant -- and it would take my bookkeepers 4-6 weeks to let me know how much I made/lost the previous month.

Looking back on CSCO's five most recent quarters, they have either been on-the-money or surprised to the upside by a penny.

But then looking at JNPR's spectacular blow-out quarter, I would suspect that would reduce the chance of CSCO surprising the Street to the up-side. But if they do -- even by a penny -- I think the overall market will react VERY positively.
