Our take

Cisco Meraki, formed from the acquisition of Meraki by Cisco in 2012, is an industry-leading cloud-managed IT company. Its technology provides unified management of mobile devices, Macs, PCs, and entire networks, all from a centralised dashboard.

Originally founded in 2006, Meraki's transformation to Cisco Meraki allowed it to reach more than 2 million active networks, and over 7 million devices globally, on top of gaining the strength of Cisco’s resources. The company has kept pace with the rise of hybrid workforces and multi-cloud environments with its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering, which bridges networking and security so that workers have seamless, secure access wherever they are working from.

Operating in a growing industry, there is plenty of opportunity for Cisco Meraki to expand its operations, and to further develop its offerings. The company supports a range of clients, encompassing roughly 75% of Fortune 500 companies, and including names such as Audi, Applebee's, and Colliers International.
