Customer Case Study
NetVersant’s implementation was very smooth. They did a terrific job delivering the solution within
budget and on time.”
budget and on time.”
Results
“The Cisco Unified Wireless Network allowed us to streamline our business process,” says
Severson. “By providing mobile access and scanning in our facilities we eliminated a couple of
steps in the pick and pack process such as the need to manually look up the box and shipping
address.” The new application automatically tells employees which box to use when a product is
scanned, and the shipping label is printed automatically. This capability has allowed Brooks to
accelerate the process, help ensure shipping address accuracy, as well as map the right box with
the right order. Customer satisfaction was increased in two ways: no shipping mistakes and faster
turn-around on shipments.

Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network centralized management has proven invaluable for deploying
access points easily and rapidly and for enhancing Brooks’ network security by quickly detecting
rogue devices and wireless intrusions. The secure nature of the network allowed IT staff to keep
the guest network separate from the corporate network, maintaining the security of company data.

Next Steps
The technology in place at Brooks provides the foundation for future solutions, including the
deployment of Context Aware Mobility solutions such as Network Location Services applications
and asset tracking for wireless scanners. These deployments would require the addition of the
Cisco Mobility Services Engine and Cisco Context Aware Software. Contextual information is
collected for Wi-Fi-enabled clients and can easily be expanded to mobile assets that don’t have
intrinsic wireless simply by adding RFID tags and the software for tags. Contextual information can
also be provided for both indoor high ceiling, and outdoor environments.

Brooks is also considering expanding the wireless deployment to their corporate headquarters.
