We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess. If you are at Cisco (Outshift by Cisco), the quickest way to get this right is to tell us how it works. ## Our question for them {#question} As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Cisco (Outshift by Cisco) yet. When they answer, it goes here. 1. **Reach** What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach? 2. **Mandate** What were they authorised to do? 3. **Gap** Who controls the gap between the two? ## Where this comes from {#sources} - [websummit.com/appearances/lis26/00e7c159-84fb-4ba2-9413-e075b2d9f87a/…](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/00e7c159-84fb-4ba2-9413-e075b2d9f87a/cisco-systems%2C-inc.), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 appearance page: name, country, industry, website. - [websummit.com/partners/event-partners-2026/](https://websummit.com/partners/event-partners-2026/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: listed on the 2026 event partners list with its elevator pitch (the "what" field).
