Case Study: JBG Companies achieves rapid, standardized secure network deployment across 55 sites in six weeks with Cisco Meraki

JBG upgrades network with MX Security Appliances and APs across 55 sites in six week

JBG Companies, a Washington, D.C.-area real estate development and management firm with a 30.2M sq ft portfolio, had grown to 700+ employees across roughly 72 sites but relied on decade-old, manually configured network infrastructure. Their eight-person IT team faced inconsistent deployments, limited remote visibility into site Wi‑Fi, and security gaps—so they selected Cisco Meraki (MX Security Appliances, APs, and MS switches) for a cloud-managed, scalable networking solution.

Using Cisco Meraki’s cloud dashboard, templating and cloning features, JBG preconfigured hardware for plug‑and‑play installs and deployed MX appliances and APs across 55 sites in six weeks, standardizing networking across 70+ locations. The Meraki solution added site-to-site VPNs, centralized access policies, content filtering, traffic shaping, malware protections, and switch-level port visibility—enabling the eight-person IT team to manage 700+ users with minimal oversight, speed deployments, and support more sites without adding staff.
