Except the article I linked goes into some details about what they are going to be focusing on..

"Chambers said the five areas of top priority at Cisco will include a "doubling down" on video technology."

"Video technology spending is expected to grow by 40 times in the next four years, Chambers said."

"The other four areas of focus include "technology and business architecture," which Chambers said customers "really understand" because large architectural shifts in technologies can improve a company's productivity by 2%, a dramatic shift. He didn't elaborate.

The third area is retaining Cisco's leadership in core routing, switching and professional services. The fourth focus will be on Cisco's collaboration tools such as Webex and Quad , which have seen revenue growth in the high 20% range. "It's a $4 billion market for us," he added."

Yeah, I look forward to what they are going to do with video since I just bought 35 9971 phones with cameras...

Well I'm glad they are refocusing on their core.
