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 organisations 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 prioritise customer and employee safety, safeguard branches, and build loyalty by securing consumer data and privacy.
