Network Design and Analysis

• Networks are becoming far too large and complex for traditional design approaches such as "rules of thumb" and "guesstimates" to yield adequate designs. In addition, the increasing network centricity of mission-critical call center applications dictates the need for consistent and guaranteed high network performance. @com. understands this and has developed an approach to designing networks that includes the utilization of sophisticated computer-aided network design tools.

• Our consultants will evaluate traffic statistics from both internal and external sources. Then utilizing your projected business growth we will recommend an optimal network configuration.

• We can then create a Request for Proposal (RFP) that details this optimal design and manage the process to evaluate bids from network vendors capable of matching the needs. This competitive process ensures the best possible pricing and contractual terms are realized.

• Most enterprises have networks that have evolved through a variety of technologies, often never completely eliminating the previous era of technology used. These lingering technological pieces often cause difficulty for the enterprise to move forward and completely implement services that span the network from end to end. We will ensure that only appropriate services are deployed and that each of the services implemented fits the overall business model.
