The Workaround works around the pandemic

The Workaround, a co-working space with childcare, was opened by Toronto entrepreneur Amanda Munday. Her business was thriving for 18 months and then COVID-19 hit. How did The Workaround survive? With a new vision, aided by Cisco Meraki.

What they're saying

Not only is Cisco reliable, there are so many elements of security built in that take all the pressure away from me. I’ve got to have the bandwidth capacity to deal with a lot of people using our secure network. Cisco Meraki does all that and more.
