The Challenge

Maintaining Secure and Reliable Government IT

Florida municipalities depend on technology to deliver public services, maintain records, support employees, communicate with residents, and keep government operations available. Many agencies must meet these expectations while managing infrastructure that was installed over multiple budget cycles and expanded as needs changed.

Legacy systems can limit scalability, visibility, and security. Government technology leaders must align infrastructure plans with approved budgets, procurement procedures, implementation schedules, and existing systems that cannot be interrupted.

Government IT Experience

City of Weston

60f88d257052205233169d1f_R2U-71371-Cover-web-p-2600
#1 Digital City in its population category

The City of Weston adopted a Technology Strategic Plan and partnered with R2 to modernize its network using Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Identity Services Engine, Cisco StealthWatch, Catalyst switching, wireless infrastructure, and Software-Defined Access. R2 integrated the city's VPN, supported a fully virtual desktop environment, and now manages the city's network environment. During COVID-19, Weston transitioned to remote operations with minimal disruption and was later recognized as the #1 Digital City in its population category.

“We have the ability to reach into the R2 toolbox, which has all these diverse talents, when we need them. It gives us the ability to get second opinions on things.”

Director of Technology Services, The City of Weston

Florida Government Case Studies

R2's work includes the City of Weston, the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida, and South Florida PBS. The City of Weston provides a documented example of how R2 supports a Florida municipality with network modernization, cybersecurity, managed services, and long-term infrastructure planning.

South Florida PBS
South Florida PBS is a public television network serving the South Florida market. R2 has provided IT services and support to the organization; the relationship began after the two organizations connected at a Cisco-sponsored networking event. 

 The R2 team is professional, knowledgeable and very responsive to SFPBS' needs. They communicate constantly and effectively to ensure projects, tasks or services requests are handled with the most optimum results.

Director of Information Technology, South Florida PBS
17th Judicial Circuit of Florida

The 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida serves Broward County's court system. R2 supports the Circuit's network communications infrastructure. 

The R2 team is willing to understand our actual needs before suggesting we buy new technologies. I love the fact they are local and can provide a level of pre and post-sale support that other companies can't. For these reasons we don't consider R2 a vendor any longer, but a valuable business partner.
