New office reinforces Cisco's commitment to innovation, collaboration, and the future of work.

Cisco has officially opened the doors to its brand-new office in downtown Austin, a major milestone in the company's long-time dedication to the city. At 600 W. 5th Street, the new office is not merely a place to work but a Cisco Showcase, showcasing advanced technologies that enable the future of work. The new space is also built with collaboration in mind, providing flexible workspaces that incorporate Cisco's workplace technology, making it possible for the employees to connect, collaborate, and innovate easily. Cisco's Austin journey started in 1996, and the firm has continued to grow with locations throughout the metropolitan area, including The Domain and Research Boulevard. With more than 1,400 employees in Austin and more than 4,000 in Texas, Cisco continues to innovate, shaping the future of work and infrastructure for the age of AI.

The new downtown office is a continuation of Cisco's vision to design environments that inspire innovation and community collaboration. Cisco employees, customers, and partners now get to see for themselves how Cisco's technology enables hybrid work. The Cisco Showcase in Austin is part of a network of showcase environments in New York, San Jose, and Atlanta, providing clients the chance to see how Cisco's technologies can drive workplace productivity. Some of the new office's key features are Cisco Desk Series and Cisco Board Pro devices, facilitating transparent communication and collaboration. Cisco Spaces platform also converts workplace data into actionable insights, and it assists in optimizing room use, furniture arrangements, and energy efficiency to further elevate the office experience. Cisco’s commitment to Austin is further reinforced by its recognition as the #1 large workplace in the city by the Austin American-Statesman last year. The company’s expansion highlights its ongoing focus on employee well-being, community engagement, and powering an inclusive future for all.
