Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) is also seeing red this morning. With its earnings release scheduled for tomorrow, investors are anticipating news of another slow-growth quarter for both revenue and earnings. According to analyst previews, revenue growth in the Americas has been bolstering the company, which has been experiencing a mild downturn in other markets. Ahead of its earnings release, Cisco announced that it has created new partner collaborations for the midsize market. This segment of the market, which houses companies with 100 to 1,000 employees, is a particularly valuable one, with Cisco estimating an astounding $7.1 billion in potential revenues. One solution the company has come up with is a newly updated version of its Business Edition 6000 collaboration portfolio targeted at smaller and midsize companies.
