Case Study: RRMM Architects achieves secure, scalable connectivity and rapid remote-work deployment with Cisco Meraki

Ensuring secure, reliable connectivity for new offices and remote employees

RRMM Architects, a growing design firm headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, faced increasing networking complexity as it expanded to five offices and supported remote employees. With a lean IT team led by Aaron Sturniolo struggling with unreliable legacy gear, the firm needed a scalable, cloud-managed security and SD-WAN solution—so RRMM selected Cisco Meraki (MR wireless, MX security & SD‑WAN, MS switching and Z3 teleworker appliances).

Cisco Meraki’s cloud-managed appliances and dashboard delivered zero-touch provisioning, Auto VPN and easy web management, allowing RRMM to connect new offices in minutes (three clicks), support 125 employees, and transition staff to remote work in one week. The deployment reduced troubleshooting time, avoided costly laptop upgrades by using MX/Z3 teleworker gear, and saved the equivalent of roughly three additional IT hires while minimizing disruption to client projects.
