ECMS 2 Course

[GaryShainberg]

Dear Meraki,

In view of the current global lockdown and pending financial restrictions, would it not be possible to move the ECMS2 course on-line, I am sure you have the "slideware" and in view of the Meraki "mantra" of everything in the cloud, sureley we could do 90% of the config and testing via dashboard - they only thing we could not to is "plug and play" ohh and be disruptive in class :-).

How about it, I would love to get this done and when this world starts to recover I will probably, like many be either "cash poor, time rich" or "time rich and cash poor"

Go on- I know you can do it 🙂

Got it. Next after CMNO (now called ECMS1) is ECMS2. Which has limited capacity (as is very clear in this thread!) - but keep an eye on the ECMS2 page here on the community. This page will be updated when there are opportunities to enroll.

Cheers!

The Meraki ECMS2 page says there are virtual session being run.

Can they at least share upcoming dates so we can speak to our Meraki Reps/DAMS

So I have just been told that at least in Europe the priority for places is going to the top 1% of Meraki customers which I think is a shame considering there are many of us who have made huge commitments to supporting Meraki both direct and by evanglising the products through my community.

I know I am either directly or indirectly responsible for many $100k's of Meraki equipment into SME's and large organisations alike and therefore the Meraki decision makers do not get any exposure to me, or anyone else like me as individuals because we do not represent a high brand value name.

If this sounds like I am !@£%% off, its because I am - as the very first Meraki user in Europe, I have committed both my business and time to almost 100% Meraki and other than this amazing community, its actually hard to get any commitment back (now days) unless you turn up with a large order.

One could argue that once a large organisation has made their initial commitment and purchase to Meraki, thereafter its a "farming" business exercise, where as committed supporters like many of us here are "hunting" for new clients all the time to turn into new members of the Meraki family

Sorry everyone - rant over - I just want a place on the ECMS 2 course, because this helps me grow our business, our clients business and Meraki's business is this to much to ask for ????

@GaryShainbergI with You on that one ..

One of the big movers for me was the "feeling" of the Meraki's ..
It was NOT all about the money .. It was about the community and the evangelism, You speak of..

For my part, I had/have no problem talking about/debating Meraki solutions with customers, even though i knew, they would not buy them from me ..

If it is true about the top 1% I am deeply disapointed !! It's against all I considered Meraki .. 😞
