Meraki (meh·RAH·kee) is a modern Greek word that is not directly translatable to English but describes “doing something with soul, creativity, or love—when you put ‘something of yourself’ into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.”
It’s a charming (albeit dramatic) sentiment that Cisco Meraki embodies—creating something special that IT professionals will love.

Massive Scalability
Access unlimited resources and on-demand expansion to broaden your networking realm while still reducing costs. With no controller hardware or management software to install and maintain, it’s suddenly feasible to scale up or down at your command.
Incredible Analytics
Data scientist—“the people who can coax treasures out of messy, unstructured data”—was named “The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century” by Harvard Business Review in 2012. But record-keeping itself is not a sexy task, nor is trying to make sense of unstructured, unhelpful data.
Fortunately, Meraki thrives on automatically analyzing an impressive array of up-to-the-minute metrics for which you can take the credit while flaunting your knowledge-based assets.

The competition is fierce, and you’ve got no time (or money) to lose. Banish all busywork and free your time for more critical C-level projects. Cut costs to please even the most concerned member of the finance department. More than anything else, these two things will get you recognized and rewarded for all the high-level work you do day in and day out.
