Cisco Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.1 Information Guide
Detailed Reports, with No Effort from IT Team
“With our old web security solution, our IT team had to spend time generating
weekly reports,” Milojević says. “But with Cisco Cloud Web Security, any authorized
employee who needs a report can just go to an online portal to generate it without
our help.”

For example, the Human Resources team can now confirm that employees are
complying with company web use policy. That includes visiting only allowed social
networking sites.

“A central reporting tool for our network infrastructure saves a lot of time compared
to going to different applications and websites,” Milojević says. Just three IT staff
members are able to provide network support for all 1300 employees. Cisco helped
Ritchie Bros. integrate Cisco Cloud Web Security with Microsoft Active Directory.
This lets the IT team see if a particular employee is slowing network performance by
downloading very large files in a short period of time, for example.

Foundation for Bring-Your-Own-Device
Ritchie Bros. has introduced a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy. The IT team
uses the mobile device manager to provision and manage company-owned iPads
and iPhones. Workers in the auction yards can use iPhones and iPads to check in
equipment, for example.

When employees go to any auction site, their devices connect automatically. “The
employee doesn’t have to take any action,” says Milojević. Employees can also
connect securely to the company network from airports, coffee shops, and other
public Wi-Fi hotspots. The Cisco AnyConnect application on their device establishes
the secure connection automatically.

Next Steps
To simplify network management, Ritchie Bros. is adopting Cisco Unified Access.
Whether people connect over wired, wireless, or VPN, the company will have one
network, one access policy, and one management tool. The company already
uses Cisco ISE to consistently apply access policies. “Cisco ISE maintains a single
database of all TrustSec tags and related access policies for all users, says Milojević.
“Policy enforcement is simpler when it’s centralized.”

The company will add more Cisco wireless access points as more people
bring more mobile devices to auction sites. The IT team plans to use the same
architecture for its Europe and Asia Pacific auction sites.
