How's this for a purchase order? Boeing just shelled out $124 million
for switching and routing gear from Cisco.
That might indicate just how important networking is to the leading company in the aerospace industry. And Terry Milholland is the person in charge of keeping Boeing on the leading edge of networking technology.
Boeing isn't just connecting machines together. It is doing business a whole new way, thanks to networking. Case in point: Boeing collaborated electronically with its business partners to build the 777-300, the world's longest commercial jetliner. Digitized images of the plane's design were transmitted over high-speed lines for two years until the actual product took flight last October.
Terry Milholland has harnessed the power of networking. For that, he makes this year's power list.
