Networks are still invisible to most of us, but they are making a visible impact.
Network innovation has unleashed new opportunities to improve productivity.
It helps our customers increase efficiencies, reduce costs, deliver new services,
and enhance customer satisfaction. The network makes possible communica-
tions that are secure, collaborative, and ultimately, more human.
In the following pages, chief information officers, technologists, business
executives, educators, visionaries, students, and a Nobel Laureate share how
networks are making a positive impact.
