"Across the Pacific, businesses are surging forward in digital transformation, and they’ve been craving a seamless solution: connectivity, mobility, security and cloud services, all woven together,” said Shally Jannif, Digicel Pacific Regional CEO. “Reliable networks are the lifeblood for families, businesses, communities and governments to flourish. Strong connections fuel economic growth. Cisco’s Meraki Managed Services can deliver this critical infrastructure, helping businesses across the Pacific to scale and thrive.”

Simplifying Network Management for Businesses

Recognising the evolving digital landscape, Digicel Pacific and Cisco understand the imperative for businesses to streamline operations without the burden of constructing or managing complex network infrastructures. Cisco’s Meraki Managed Services supports this through a comprehensive suite of services including enhanced security, surveillance, connectivity and cloud solutions, all delivered through a robust and secure cloud platform.

Benefits of Cloud-Managed Network Solutions

Powered by Cisco's advanced Catalyst and Meraki cloud-based platforms, Cisco Meraki Managed Services enable organisations to operate networks efficiently without the need to own, build, or maintain physical infrastructure. These innovative solutions will allow businesses to mitigate the traditional challenges associated with building and maintaining their own physical infrastructure, such as capital expenditures, manual service provisioning, and prolonged issue resolution processes, especially when it involves multiple solutions from different vendors.

“At Cisco, we believe in simplifying powerful technology for every organization,” said Vish Iyer, President Service Provider, Cisco APJC. “Our collaboration with Digicel Pacific marks a significant milestone in delivering Cisco’s cutting-edge technology portfolio through a cloud-driven, cloud-delivered and cloud-managed Network-as-a-Service model. This approach offers businesses in the Pacific region greater flexibility and security as they transition to a cloud operating model.”
