Form IT Solutions helps organisations design, implement and support Cisco technology across networking, security, collaboration, observability and modern IT infrastructure.
Cisco technology delivered with Form IT consultancy, implementation and ongoing IT support.
Your network is no longer simply the infrastructure connecting devices. It is central to security, cloud access, collaboration, application performance and the way your organisation operates.
Form IT combines Cisco technology with practical IT consultancy to help you build an environment that is secure, manageable, resilient and ready for future requirements.
As businesses become more cloud-dependent and distributed, networking, security and user experience increasingly need to be considered together.
Multiple sites, cloud services, devices and applications can make IT environments difficult to manage and troubleshoot.
Users, applications and devices need secure access wherever they operate, without creating unnecessary friction.
Poor connectivity or limited visibility can quickly affect productivity, customer experience and critical applications.
Cisco brings together networking, security, collaboration, computing, observability and AI-focused technologies. Form IT can help translate those technologies into a practical solution for your organisation.
Build secure, scalable connectivity across campus, branch, wireless, WAN and data centre environments.
Protect users, devices, applications and data with security designed to operate across increasingly distributed environments.
Connect teams and customers with modern calling, meetings, contact centre and workplace collaboration technologies.
Improve visibility across applications, infrastructure and networks to identify issues and understand their business impact.
Cisco Meraki brings networking, security, wireless, device management and IoT together through a cloud-managed platform. It is designed to give IT teams centralised visibility and control across distributed environments.
For organisations with multiple offices, remote users, distributed sites or lean IT teams, Meraki can provide a simpler way to deploy, manage and monitor network infrastructure.
Discuss Cisco MerakiMeraki's portfolio includes cloud-managed wireless LAN, switching, security and SD-WAN, cellular connectivity, endpoint management, smart cameras and environmental sensors.
Meraki can be particularly useful where organisations need to maintain consistent infrastructure across offices, branches, remote locations and increasingly distributed users.
Cloud-managed wireless designed to provide reliable connectivity with centralised visibility, configuration and monitoring.
Suitable for offices, education, retail, hospitality and distributed business environments.
Centrally managed switching with network-wide visibility, remote troubleshooting and simplified deployment.
Build a consistent LAN infrastructure without adding unnecessary operational complexity.
Secure branch connectivity with security, routing, SD-WAN and application visibility brought together through centralised management.
Connect offices, remote locations and cloud services while maintaining visibility across the environment.
Extend the platform beyond core networking with mobile device management, smart cameras, environmental sensors and cellular connectivity.
Create a broader view of the physical and digital environment from a common management approach.
Meraki is particularly relevant when IT teams need to deploy consistent infrastructure across multiple locations while maintaining centralised control.
Use centralised configuration and zero-touch provisioning capabilities to reduce the amount of manual work required when bringing sites and devices online.
Give IT teams a consistent view of network infrastructure, connected devices and performance across multiple locations.
Monitor, troubleshoot and manage infrastructure remotely, helping reduce the operational burden of supporting distributed environments.
Meraki can be considered where simplicity, centralised management and consistent deployment are important parts of the IT strategy.
Standardise networking and security across offices, branches and smaller locations from a central platform.
Support distributed users and locations with secure connectivity and centrally managed infrastructure.
Deploy consistent Wi-Fi, switching, security and connectivity across multiple customer-facing locations.
Reduce the operational overhead associated with managing infrastructure spread across multiple sites.
Establish repeatable infrastructure standards that can be applied as new locations and users are introduced.
Extend network visibility into cameras, sensors and other connected devices where appropriate.
The question is whether the cloud-managed approach, feature set and commercial structure fit your organisation.
Form IT can assess your existing infrastructure and help determine where Meraki fits within your wider Cisco, security and IT strategy.
Understand how many sites, users, devices and connections your IT team needs to support.
Identify ageing infrastructure, operational bottlenecks and areas where management could be simplified.
Consider wireless, switching, security, SD-WAN, cellular, device management and IoT requirements.
Plan deployment, migration, licensing, support and future expansion around your business priorities.
Explore Cisco's technology portfolio and identify the products and solutions that align with your networking, security, collaboration and infrastructure requirements.
The objective is not simply to deploy technology. It is to create an IT environment that supports the way your organisation actually works.
Give users consistent access to the applications and services they need across offices, remote locations and cloud environments.
Bring security closer to users, devices, applications and network access rather than treating it as a separate layer.
Understand network and application performance so that issues can be investigated before they become wider business problems.
Improve consistency and operational control across a growing environment of sites, devices, applications and services.
Build an infrastructure that can adapt as users, locations, workloads and technology requirements change.
Combine connectivity, security and collaboration to create a more dependable experience for employees and customers.
Cisco technology can form part of a much wider infrastructure strategy. Form IT can support you from initial requirements through design, implementation and ongoing management.
Review ageing switching, routing, wireless and WAN infrastructure and develop a roadmap for modernisation.
Connect users and locations while considering identity, access, security policy and the changing threat landscape.
Build connectivity and visibility across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
Modernise calling, meetings and workplace collaboration around the needs of your users and customers.
Review how users, devices and applications access your environment and identify opportunities to strengthen controls.
Improve insight into digital experiences and identify the underlying causes of performance issues.
Cisco has a broad technology portfolio. The challenge is selecting the right combination for your environment, users, applications, security requirements and budget.
Form IT can help you turn those requirements into a practical technology roadmap rather than simply specifying hardware.
Identify the users, locations, applications, workloads and operational priorities that technology needs to support.
Review current networking, security, infrastructure, connectivity and management requirements.
Select the Cisco technologies and supporting services that address the actual technical and business requirements.
Consider implementation, migration, documentation, support, monitoring and future development from the outset.
The value of a technology platform depends on how effectively it is designed, deployed, secured and supported. Form IT brings Cisco into a wider IT services relationship.
Independent advice focused on your business requirements, existing environment and longer-term IT roadmap.
Practical experience across networking, infrastructure, security and the technologies that depend upon them.
Continued support after implementation, helping your technology remain reliable and aligned with the business.
