Be sure to check out this blog by Grace Francisco, Vice President, Developer Relations Strategy & Experience, announcing the release of API Insights today.   API Insights is an open source tool that enables developers to adopt API best practices before APIs enter production, helping to shift quality and security of APIs left. It also helps organizations evaluate, manage, and improve the quality of their existing API portfolios.   Meraki is just one of the Cisco business units that has been using API Insights to evaluate and strengthen their APIs.    By leveraging API Insights in our efforts to drive up the quality of our APIs, Meraki has been able to gain new visibility into this process. Ultimately, this results in a better experience for API developers and consumers.   Read more about this announcement (and @DexterLaBora's aka, Cory Guynn's quote) in the link below.   https://blogs.cisco.com/developer/apiqualityandsecurity01   Be sure to share your thoughts with us as well below!  ⬇️ ...

              Meraki and mpro5 use MT sensors to create visibility on all data inside of an organization, allowing organizations to make informed decisions across all relevant KPIs.   In any sustainability project, this visibility is foundational to meeting, then exceeding, company goals.   mpro5 integrates with Meraki cameras and sensors to create a full IoT driven digital transformation solution. Customers can improve operational effectiveness, ensure process compliance and drive productivity gains and cost savings with data driven action.   An innovative, configurable platform, mpro5 unifies cloud, mobile and smart IoT technologies to enable the quick implementation of tailored, digital processes, turning complex jobs, workflows and scheduling into simple, effective and continuously compliant processes.   How do mpro5 and Meraki work together? When MT sensors are paired with mpro5 automation and alert notifications, staff experience fewer false alarms for maintenance and IT, which eliminate unnecessary travel and time spent identifying issues. This is critical for customers carbon neutral goals.   Meraki environmental sensors monitor temperature, humidity, TVOC and PM2.5, directly leading to less energy usage in buildings and data centers with automated ticketing and alerting systems. Air quality visibility dramatically impacts the overall health of employees.   MT cameras and door sensors enable organizations to control how their assets are being used, resulting in lower energy use, extended life of assets and lowered costs.   What does this look like? Simply leaving one door open a crack or two for an 8-hour period can result in an electric bill that is up to 30% higher than normal!                           One example of annual benefits realized for a UK major retail chain: $1.3 million saved in paper costs 13,500 trees saved 38% increase in productivity due to eliminated maintenance trips To learn more about Meraki's Sustainability efforts, visit our dedicated page here.   And be sure to request a demo from mpro5 on their sustainable-focused apps ready to be implemented today!   https://apps.meraki.io/en-US/apps/381969/mpro5 https://apps.meraki.io/en-US/apps/381705/smart-buildings https://apps.meraki.io/en-US/apps/381714/smart-data-centres    ...

This post was contributed by Meraki Marketplace tech partners, Imatik   Creating experiences with SSI-Tree: How an eco-system partner is starting a tree planting revolution             The Sustainability Challenge Pressure is mounting for all departments within organizations to do more. The topic of climate action can seem overwhelming, especially when trying to find solutions that can integrate smoothly with your technology stack. Looking to how other companies are increasing their sustainability efforts, can be one source of climate action ideas.   Our Light Bulb Moment As we held discussions for our Net Zero Office, we knew we needed to design a solution that offset emissions generated from our network, while bringing a positive experience to our guests. Given our emphasis on sustainability, we wanted to refrain from buying additional equipment and instead, leverage our existing hardware. The Lightbulb moment was our Meraki wireless. After a few late nights powered by endless coffee, we built SSI-Tree. The solution we’d later bring to market via the Meraki App Store.   How Does it Work? Watch. Connect. Plant. The concept was simple. When a guest enters your building and connects to the Wi-Fi, SSI-Tree plants a tree.   A mature tree (usually after 10 years old) can absorb as much as 22kg of carbon each year. According to several studies, in today’s world the most impactful and cost-effective way of taking carbon out of the atmosphere to help tackle the climate crisis is to plant trees. They remove carbon, produce oxygen, create habitats, and generally help an eco-system thrive.   SSI-Tree is delivered via a splash page that sits in front of the guest Wi-Fi network, therefore giving a company the opportunity to not only do good, but also advertise a message via a video, statement or questionnaire.   It’s a unique way for an organization to highlight a part of their sustainability agenda.   If a business offered you the opportunity to plant a tree for an action that would take you no longer than 15 seconds - what would you say?   When we see businesses get behind such powerful initiates, we see change. We want to extend the tree planting revolution into small, mid and enterprise companies to help them plant more trees.   Check us out on the Cisco Meraki Marketplace.   Source: Pexels   ...
