cisco has a 1mm$ revenue goal per employee and a rev goal a few years out of 50 billion annually. Right now GMs in the 70% area. There's a lot of extremely agressive cost cutting going on over there (I mean extremely agressive) and partners are taking some real hits. Its working because Cisco has the entire mkt. I actually think 70% is about all you can squeeze out of this rock though. Next the revs need to improve.

csco going for profit, not revenue growth. it isn't stressing speed to market. it is becoming more cost efficient. it is not hiring, buying companies like it used to
