Example: Since we merakified our network, IT has been able to spend more time focusing on projects which have made a true impact on the business.
At Meraki, we want to help our customers by freeing up businesses to focus on what’s important to them, instead of worrying about whether their networks are running smoothly. To celebrate this widespread effect, we asked our partners to share on Twitter how their customers were able to #merakify and get additional value from their IT solutions. We got responses from all over the world, and had to share some of our favorites!
