Cisco Designed: Empowering Small Business Recovery

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. When they're strong, we're all stronger. Cisco can help as small businesses shift to a more hybrid environment and their needs and expectations keep changing. "Beyond Survival: A Small Business Resiliency Guide" from Cisco and LinkedIn provides guidance to get you started.

Between Hybrid and Work, there’s a bridge.

Small businesses are innovative and resilient and will recover from current economic challenges by being flexible, inclusive, supportive, secure, and managed. Our resource hub, Cisco Designed: Empowering Small Business Recovery, is here to help with valuable information, expert insights, and other resources to enable you to build for the future, evolve your workplace, and work from anywhere while staying connected so that you can focus on keeping your business running.
