Cisco DNA Spaces helps resolve physical-space blind spots inside an organization. Through Cisco wireless infrastructure, organizations can gain insights into how people and things move throughout their physical spaces. Based on these insights, organizations can drive operational efficiencies by monitoring and managing the location, movement, and utilization of assets. This course enables learners how to use DNA Spaces to drive operational efficiency across environment types. Learners will understand use-cases and obtain the ability to identify procedures and applications when implementing and operating DNA spaces that are getting back to business or business as usual. This course covers both basic and advanced operational elements of DNA Spaces while considering Data Analytics in the context of DNA Spaces. You will perform a hands-on deep-dive into the solution and perform on-boarding of wireless infrastructure. Subsequently, you will configure the DNA Spaces solution both tactically and strategically. This will include elements such as behavioral metrics, location analytics, captive portals, profiling, customer engagements, Internet of Things, asset identification and management, and API interfaces for streaming and notifications. You will also explore DNA Spaces App Center and IoT Device Marketplace. The course qualifies for 18 Cisco Continuing Education Credits (CE).
