We had a significant inorganic move in the vendor space yesterday. The industry giant Cisco has announced its intent to acquire Accedian from their current majority owners at Bridge Growth Partners.
Accedian specializes in performance monitoring and service assurance, laboring behind the scenes of network providers to help keep everything humming along. Those services have become more ubiquitous and necessary in the modern SaaS-driven ecosystem. It’s quite natural then that Cisco is looking to bring such capabilities deeper into the core of its offerings. Automation is everywhere now, and that includes in assuring that the digital experiences Cisco’s customers promise the end user maintain their quality.
