The Roads and Parks Department can now operate more efficiently, collecting revenue from city street parking
permits, using an online self-service portal that residents and workers can reliably and conveniently access without
interruption. With the improved IT infrastructure, the city can now look at expanding the range of services available
through its website and help make routine transactions faster and easier for its citizens.
“Our comprehensive Cisco network is delivering real returns, with its outstanding reliability and security. We’ve
eliminated previous network access, bandwidth, and availability issues and have the peace of mind that Cisco can
support the needs of our municipality as we look to deliver more powerful 21
st
century services to our constituents,”
said Nejsum.
With Cisco TrustSec security features, IT management benefits from tremendous oversight of who and what
devices are on the network, whether wired or wireless. IT can also better control the risks associated with that
access for some 2000 administration computers plus 2100 computers serving students at local schools, and PCs
at the libraries. The Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance protects users from accessing malicious websites and
prevents malware and virus infections. IT administrators can now control access to online web applications and
securely allow students and staff to use social networking sites and other Web 2.0 sites for collaboration.
The prevalence of excellent local expertise for Cisco technology, including the skilled consulting and deployment
provided by NetDesign, allowed the IT department to achieve a swift, easier-than-expected implementation within
the critical summer timeframe. The city can take full advantage of these local resources and the robust features of
its new network to stay on track with new technologies as they emerge for years to come.
Next Steps
With its network transformation, Frederiksberg Kommune now has an efficient IT infrastructure that aligns to
government initiatives to deliver beneficial, highly secure, and cost-effective service to its citizens. The IT
organization is well positioned to meet future demands for new educational web applications and self-service
portals across government agencies. Now the IT department can proceed with plans to support laptops and other
devices that workers and students want to bring into the environment for richer engagement between government
and the community.
