Standardizing 14 Networks for an Early Childhood Education Nonprofit

Case Study — Education & Nonprofit

At A Glance

This nonprofit operates early childhood education centers across central Indiana, with 14 networks managed in its Cisco Meraki dashboard. It engaged AIS to optimize the dashboard for consistent network and management settings across every site.

The Solution We Delivered

AIS executed a four-stage Plan, Prepare, Implement, Validate methodology: documenting floor plans, IP schemes, VLANs, firewall rules, SSIDs and hardware placement at each site; verifying group policies, security settings and device naming; then updating access points, VLANs, switch port profiles, alerting and firewall rules, and removing retired hardware from the dashboard.

Results & Impact

All 14 networks standardized and validated for connectivity

Floor plans and access point placements uploaded to the management dashboard

Alerting, firewall rules and group policies updated across sites

Complete as-built documentation delivered with client acceptance testing

Partnership Moving Forward

The optimization built on AIS’s managed services relationship with the organization, leaving a consistently configured, well-documented network ready for future growth.
