Expanding operations overseas can be complicated, from procurement hurdles to compliance headaches and time zone differences. For US companies moving into the UK (or wider EMEA), having the right local partner can mean the difference between a smooth rollout and endless roadblocks.
At The Networking Nerds (TNN), we specialise in bridging that gap. We help US businesses (and partners) deploy and support Cisco Meraki and other network solutions in the UK with less friction, more consistency, and full technical credibility.
Here’s how we make it work, and why it benefits you.
⏰ Extended Hours for US Time Zones
We understand the reality: US teams can’t always wait until the next UK business day for answers.
-
We run extended support hours to overlap with both East Coast and West Coast working days.
-
This means real-time communication without long delays across time zones.
-
Faster responses → faster progress on your projects.
Benefit: Your US teams can treat us like an extension of their own team, without the pain of working overnight shifts.
💵 Operating in US Dollars
Procurement across borders often leads to unexpected costs and admin. That’s why we operate a US bank account and handle transactions directly in dollars.
-
No FX risk or fluctuating conversion rates.
-
Cleaner budgeting and invoicing for US finance teams.
-
Faster procurement with less red tape.
Benefit: Procurement feels local, even when you’re buying overseas.
🤝 Working with US & UK Meraki AMs
Discount structures and account ownership often get messy when projects span regions. We actively collaborate with both the US and UK Meraki account managers to keep everything aligned.
-
Ensuring consistent discounts and global pricing
-
Smooth hand-offs between regions
-
Coordinated project management from start to finish
Benefit: You get predictable costs and no surprises, whether you’re buying in the US or deploying in the UK.
🌐 Local Knowledge, Global Reach
Deploying in a new market isn’t just about hardware. Local context matters.
-
We understand UK compliance, logistics, and installation standards.
-
We can navigate local distributors and supply chains to accelerate delivery times.
-
We provide on-the-ground support where a US team can’t always fly in.
Benefit: You save time, reduce friction, and avoid missteps that can delay your project.
