Case Study: RED achieves centralised cloud management and mobile workforce enablement with Cisco Meraki

RED - Customer Case Study

RED, a UK‑based global staffing firm focused on the SAP market with 7 international offices, 250+ employees and thousands of daily interactions, struggled with limited network visibility and the inability to centrally manage distributed sites—forcing its 8‑person IT team to travel onsite for changes. To support a move to the cloud and a more mobile workforce, RED selected Cisco Meraki (MR wireless, MS switching, MX security and Systems Manager EMM) to simplify and centralize network and device management.

Cisco Meraki was deployed across all offices, delivering a single web‑based dashboard, segmented SSIDs, unified threat management, AD integration, self‑healing VPNs and remote EMM controls. The result: configuration cloning and rollouts that previously took hours or days now take about 30 minutes, devices can be reprovisioned in transit, anomalies are detected proactively, and RED has cut deployment time, saved man‑hours and achieved a scalable, cloud‑first infrastructure that supports its mobile workforce.
