Case Study: Imagination Group achieves stronger security and reduced troubleshooting with Cisco Meraki

Improving security and decreasing troubleshooting with full-stack solution

Imagination Group, a global digital media agency with 15+ locations and 1,000+ staff, faced a fragmented, aging network that made troubleshooting and consistent support across sites nearly impossible. After trialing Cisco Meraki (MR wireless, MS switches, MX security/SD‑WAN, UTM appliances and Systems Manager MDM), the team selected Meraki for its ease of installation, cloud dashboard and template-based configuration to standardize infrastructure worldwide.

Cisco Meraki delivered a full‑stack, centrally managed solution—preconfigured MR APs, MS switches and MX/UTM appliances deployed by template, with cloud dashboard, AMP/IDS and site‑to‑site VPN enabled in a few clicks. The result: rapid site rollouts, multi‑site meshed VPN (saving roughly £2,000 per site previously paid to contractors), greatly diminished end‑user requests, simplified guest and SSID management, and measurable reductions in troubleshooting time thanks to Meraki’s diagnostics and automatic updates.
