Case Study: Thumbtack achieves 3× savings and renewed focus with Meter
A Meter Case Study
How Thumbtack realized 3x savings and found renewed focus by using Meter
Thumbtack, a technology company helping people care for their homes, faced the challenge of building a new network for a smaller office space without incurring high upfront hardware costs. Their existing solution from Aruba and Palo Alto Networks was quoted at three times the price of Meter's offering. Erik Wooding, Manager of IT Systems Engineering, needed to provide secure, robust access for employees while freeing his team from network maintenance to focus on higher-impact projects.
By implementing Meter's Network as a Service (NaaS), Thumbtack eliminated upfront capital expenditure. Meter provided the entire package, including hardware, installation, and ongoing security monitoring, for a simple monthly fee. This solution resulted in a 3x cost savings over the lease's life and an 80% reduction in on-call support tickets. This allowed Erik's team to re-focus on strategic automation projects, providing significant peace of mind.
