Great idea! Let\u2019s get you started.<\/p>

Connecting all your AP licenses will give you a complete picture of your locations, making insights more meaningful. It will also give you the ability to drive multiple business outcomes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Would you use Google Analytics on just the homepage of your website? If you have decided to use Google analytics, the real value is tested and realized only when you look at user behavior patterns across all pages of your website and not just the homepage.<\/p>

Well, same with Cisco Spaces. The true value of Cisco Spaces can only be realized when you activate it across your entire network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. Can I just do a POC first?<\/span><\/p>

We understand if you want to start small, but as with any platform that uses data, you will see more accurate and relevant insights when you have a larger data set. To see the true value of Cisco Spaces we encourage you to activate all your APs, or at least a category or group of properties that will make benchmarking possible.<\/p>

2. I can\u2019t connect all my access points yet because I don\u2019t have my maps ready.<\/span><\/p>

No worries! Just connect all your APs for now and start realizing the value at scale. You can always come back and add maps whenever you’re ready. In the meantime, here are some apps you can get started with that don’t require maps – Right Now, Impact Analysis App, Location Analytics App, Captive Portals & Engagements Apps and more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
