Scaling E-commerce at Cisco: A Journey from DevNet to Enterprise-Wide Impact

Cisco's DevNet team built a scalable e-commerce platform for certification collateral and preparation materials, navigating complex legal, security, and procurement processes to onboard global payment vendors like Stripe and VeriFone. The effort evolved into a foundational framework benefiting Cisco at large, demonstrating the strategic value of laying reusable groundwork for future business needs. The platform was eventually retired, but the legal frameworks, vendor approvals, and contract structures remained, enabling Cisco Learning to integrate VeriFone seamlessly.
