Case Study: JEO Consulting Group achieves LAN-like performance and mobile productivity with Riverbed SteelHead

Consulting Firm Improves Performance over the WAN for Branch Offices and Mobile Workiers

JEO Consulting Group, a professional services firm with offices across Nebraska and Iowa, relied on its WAN to deliver business‑critical apps (CAD, GIS, financial) from its Omaha data center. With employees working from small towns, client sites, and home, limited local bandwidth and slow remote file transfers (a 110 MB folder once took ~60 minutes) made it difficult to achieve LAN‑like performance and consistent productivity.

JEO deployed Riverbed SteelHead appliances in the data center and offices and installed SteelHead Mobile on about 60 laptops. The result was LAN‑like access to files and applications, up to 40× faster transfers and as much as 75% less data over connections, easier IT management, and the ability to cost‑effectively locate offices in small towns—boosting employee productivity and supporting client satisfaction.
