Hi Chris, for me some of the most exciting outcomes that Cisco DNA can provide are in the area of Analytics and Insights (your excellent CMX example).

Leveraging the huge amount of visibility that the network has of an organisation's connected devices and applications, and transforming that raw data into actionable insights is key to helping our customers succeed in their own digital transformation.

The fact that we can access all of this goodness via programmatic interfaces will lead to new innovations, many driven by our customers and partners rather than us a Cisco. For me, THAT is an exciting position to be in!
