Aussie start-up Local Measure has sealed a high profile role with global tech giant Cisco to help the Sydney Opera House monitor and manage patrons behaviour on social media and on-site, in a deal that could have long term implications for the emerging company's future prospects.

The partnership comes after the Sydney-based start-up worked alongside Cisco to win an, as yet unannounced, major deal in the US with one of the world's biggest hotel chains, and was added to a list of products that Cisco offers to sell to its thousands of clients around the world.
