You can't just make this stuff up and have it be true!

Hey Elroy, Cisco is one of the biggest oracle 11i shops, I have friends at Oracle who work with cisco, Cisco has asked for enhancements to the 11i service suite to support their business (which Oracle will do)- and I have heard repeatedly that Cisco is trying to push more business in the direction of high margin services from numerous people. So please, unless you know what I say is untrue then don't jump to conclusions!

It seems like every business in SV is moving to services now, thats what "IBM on demand", "Oracle on demand" are. This is not a stretch if you work out here, its going on everywhere, Cisco is no exception.

Whether or not Cisco has been able to *generate* the kind of business they would like to in services is another matter entirely.
