Cisco becomes e-commerce consultant By Tim Clark Staff Writer, CNET News.com February 15, 1999, 4:00 a.m. PT Cisco Systems is working as a consultant to companies that sell e-commerce software, in an effort to sell more networking equipment. Cisco is cooperating with BroadVision, InterWorld, and Open Market to tune their applications to run better with Cisco products, in effect giving them a seal of approval. By helping the trio make their e-commerce applications run faster on a network, Cisco hopes to spur the growth of Internet commerce, which in turn could increase demand for its own products. Much of the Internet infrastructure runs on Cisco routers, and more e-commerce could translate into more sales of those products. Naming those three preferred companies is the first concrete step since Cisco's December announcement of a new Internet Business Solutions Group, which will be rolling out similar efforts in other Net-based applications.
