Case Study: Peterbilt of Springfield improves wireless manageability with Alexander Open Systems and Cisco Meraki

Meraki Cloud-Managed Wireless Assists with Internal Manageability

Peterbilt of Springfield, a truck and tractor dealership operator in Missouri managing IT for 20 branches and more than 700 employees, needed to update its wireless network for more than 650 laptops and mobile devices. With challenges around PCI compliance, wireless connectivity, and unreliable phone service, the company turned to vendor Alexander Open Systems for help.

Alexander Open Systems recommended a Cisco Meraki cloud-managed wireless solution, which gave Peterbilt a simple dashboard, easier multi-site management, and minimal-hardware deployment. The rollout was fast—three access points were replaced in less than two hours—and the new system improved connectivity, reduced dropped calls, helped track and control guest network usage, and made it easier to manage productivity and bandwidth across locations.
