Case Study: American Baptist Homes of the West achieves six-figure MPLS cost savings and improved network visibility with Cisco Meraki

Hear How American Baptist Homes Of The West Replaced Mpls

American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW) operates 43 senior living communities across four states, supporting 5,000+ residents. Corporate Network Manager Chris Franks, who originally deployed Cisco Meraki cloud-managed WiFi in 2010, needed to replace costly MPLS links and improve network visibility across the 10 senior living facilities he manages.

Cisco Meraki delivered cloud-managed security appliances with site-to-site VPN to replace MPLS and extend ABHOW’s cloud networking. The deployment is projected to produce six-figure — “hundreds of thousands” — savings over three years and has provided ABHOW with greater centralized network visibility and easier management.
