Job Title

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Build for your needs. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming what works for your neighbor, your peer, or your competitor will work for you.
Deliver on what your business knows it needs as well as what it doesn’t yet know it needs. Business leaders have business vision, but this vision won’t directly demand the required network capabilities to enable the business. This is where you come in.
Modern technologies are hampered by vintage processes. New technologies demand new ways of accomplishing old tasks.

Impact and Result

Use a systematic approach to document all stakeholder needs and rely on the network technical staff to translate those needs into design constraints, use cases, features, and management practices.
Spend only on those emerging technologies that deliver features offering direct benefits to specific business goals and IT needs.
Solidify the business case for your network modernization project by demonstrating and quantifying the hard dollar value it provides to the business.
