When designing a solution, we look at both high-level and granular views.
We need to:
-
Understand what changes, enhancements or functionality your organization prefers to adopt, the time frame, the criticality of the deployment, the allocated budget, your technical resources and if you prefer them to work in concert with us or as observers.
-
Get familiar with your business model, anticipated growth, mergers, divestitures, departmental model and geographic scale. All of these items are considered when designing or enhancing a network infrastructure, as your network design will be most scalable and effective if it is a mirror of your corporate identity and structure.
-
Interview a sampling of the people the project will effect. This will allow for planning for the least disruption during the rollout.
-
Analyze your current infrastructure and domain model to discover if it adequately represents your business model. If your current network design is appropriate then we will look at the enhancement you desire using your existing infrastructure, only adding where required for the new functionality you need to deploy.
-
Design your infrastructure with your network administration in mind. How we place both logical and physical assets within your network is based on how you manage your network. We can allow for centralized administration, decentralized administration or a mixed model.
We have found using our methodology with Network Infrastructure has provided our customers with tremendous savings. Because we take the time in the beginning of the process to fully understand the business model, we can offer a truly customized solution based on your current needs and desires, yet scaleable into the future.
The methodology was developed through best practice techniques realized from years of experience. In addition to our best practices, we utilize the Microsoft Solutions Framework in the implementation of our client projects. We have found because of our methodology, our solutions are cost effective and delivered within the scheduled timeframe.
