How our assessment process works

Our focus areas
We focus on these five areas to ensure your transition to SDN is as seamless as possible.
Getting the right product – and quickly - is critical to the success of any IT project. We’ll advise on exactly what’s right for your company, based on your budget and what you need to achieve. You’ll benefit from our expert knowledge of the latest updates and new releases, as well as our partnerships with key vendors like Cisco, AWS and Fortinet. Which basically means the best possible products are delivered and installed, fast.
The challenges your company faces will be different to everyone else’s. We spend a lot of time talking to you about how things run and what your issues are, so we can design a solution that’s unique to your needs. Planning and understanding at this stage prevents unexpected surprises later on. You’ll benefit from our considerable experience working with all types of businesses and our up-to-date knowledge of the ever-changing products on the market.
We’ll build, install and test new systems and networks onsite with the minimum of disruption to you and your colleagues. It’s important to us that we fit in with you. Our friendly qualified consultants and certified engineers are really easy to work with and have proven experience deploying global scale networks into companies of all sizes across every industry. So, you’ll be in very safe hands. We’re also careful to comply with your best practices and meet any standards for your industry.
We’ll help you keep your networks resilient and high-performing, enabling you to deliver seamless connections for all staff, both at home and in the office. From bringing us in-house as support for your existing team to managing your cloud services from afar, choose the kind of support that works well for you. Our huge experience working with other companies means we can be a great sounding board for IT experts working on their own. We can also help with upskilling your staff if required.

Having a clear software defined strategy can avoid having to accrue technical debt which may lurk around for years and present additional complexities further down the line. The strategy doesn’t just encompass a single product or element of the DC but the whole portfolio.
In an API driven world, SDN controllers and orchestrators allow rich integrations between vendors to streamline provisioning of services and wider visibility of the infrastructure. Native integrations between products can both simplify operations and speed of deployment of services.
Inconsistency within data centres is often a big issue although it’s the small inconsistencies that often cause the biggest issues and take the longest to resolve.
Having increased insight and invisibility into the network can help teams keep track of faults, performance and assurance of the network. Incidents and faults are inevitable in the network, it's how we reach to them and avoid them happening again that matters.
Delivery means any connectivity, on any infrastructure, any time, securely and quickly. Most importantly, speed of delivery should not come at the expense of standards or security.
