The Cisco® Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) helps customers turn their technology investments into strategic assets that increase productivity, reduce costs, and create new revenue sources. IBSG's Global Public Sector Practice helps clients understand NVO concepts and assists governments in creating a vision of the future. The practice also gathers the observations and experiences gained from working with governments in written thought-leadership articles or in master classes, where IBSG brings together government leaders, academics, and consultants in specific areas of e-government to exchange experiences and ideas.

After the concepts are clear and a vision has been created, Cisco IBSG can design tactical action plans comprised of short, intensive projects to help move a government in the direction of its overall vision, while still providing frequent opportunities for adjusting the vision and redefining priorities. IBSG combines wide-ranging public sector expertise with the extensive internal knowledge gained at Cisco— as well as the experience of working with the majority of the Global 500 companies—to change and optimize governmental processes using technology, while helping the public sector partner with and service the private sector.

The Cisco IBSG Global Public Sector Practice consists of four seasoned teams with specific expertise and demonstrated customer results in these areas:
