The Smart Branch With an Even Smarter Network
Think outside the branch with Cisco Meraki
A platform approach to reshaping financial services
In this era of digital transformation, financial institutions are reshaping
their services to deliver elevated digital experiences to remain competitive.
With both customers and employees demanding innovation, banks need to
diversify services and offer experiences delivered via cutting-edge
technology. These digital platforms provide more data, options, and
opportunities to reduce costs, ease deployments, increase security,
and—ultimately—transform the branch.
87% of respondents said customer engagement was at the core of their
transformation plans, followed closely by improving use of data, AI, and
analytics. Evolve and learn faster with a cloud managed platform
Cisco Meraki helps financial services organizations simplify network
operations, scale faster, and easily create and unify secure IT experiences
through our extensible, cloud-based platform.

IT cost efficiency
Gain cost savings through remote visibility and transform legacy management
systems into a fully integrated cloud platform to quickly identify,
troubleshoot, and resolve issues efficiently, making it less expensive to
operate and maintain your networks.
Branch transformation
Rapidly deploy new applications, improve the branch experience, and create
efficiencies that give staff more time to provide tailored assistance. All
this while reducing costs.
Ease of deployment
Rather than sending your team out to branch locations, reduce operational
complexity through plug-and-play capabilities and bring networks online within
minutes with full visibility from a single dashboard.
Cybersecurity and physical security
As security threats grow more frequent, banks must prioritize customer and
employee safety, safeguard branches, and build loyalty by securing consumer
data and privacy.
