Marc van Zadelhoff says "he's seen a spike in interest in dashboards that monitor a company's key performance metrics. He attributes this rise in interest to Sarbanes-Oxley and its requirement of real-time disclosure. "There are a certain number of bad things that can happen to a company that have to be reported within certain time constraints. To get that kind of visibility, senior executives are requiring IT to deliver them a dashboard that monitors the health and welfare of the company."

As part of this, the company has launched its Network On Wheels (NOW) campaign, a mobile showcase of customised Cisco networking solutions including advanced technologies such as security, wireless and unified IP communications."
