PCI Consulting - Address your business and e-business network infrastructure
In today's rapidly changing IT environment, implementing network solutions and e-business applications can be challenging. Rather than redirect valuable resources or expand your staff, look to PCI Network Consulting and Integration. Our experienced consulting professionals apply proven methodologies to help develop an end-to-end, multivendor network solution for your business and IT needs today and in the future. Every network is unique, so our consultants take a life cycle approach to consulting and integration services. We can address several, or all, of your network life cycle elements: assessment, strategy, architecture, design, planning, implementation and operational support services to develop an infrastructure that can support your e-business initiative.
Assessment
Current and future business goals can be aligned with a solution supporting your core e-business objectives. Our people analyze your business and mission-critical components to identify weaknesses between partners, suppliers, customers, end-users, branch offices and divisions weaknesses that may impact network performance, reliability and availability. Our production readiness analysis helps ensure your network's capability and capacity to support new initiatives.
Strategy
Our consultants help develop infrastructure strategies that define the policies and procedures governing decisions, actions and implementation. These strategies can guide network architecture and design.
Architecture
Your network architecture should map to your business requirements through network functions and services. To optimize your investment, we maximize system flexibility, scalability and manageability to create a reliable infrastructure that grows with your business.
Design
Next, we develop network topologies, technology solutions and interconnections of components and sites. We describe the benefits, risks and impact they will have on your infrastructure. Our experienced professionals adhere to industry standards and regulations when designing your solution, helping to specify component types and sizes as well as network addressing requirements, and can make unbiased hardware and software recommendations to address your requirements.
Planning
We help develop a network implementation plan that meets your budget, availability, implementation skills and redundancy requirements. Testing plans and proof-of-concepts help ensure a smooth implementation with minimal risk. We also include tactical steps to address immediate network needs and support vendor alliances.
Implementation
Using the implementation plan, our team can build, install or upgrade your network with minimal disruption to daily operations. We can use multivendor products to create a cost-effective, flexible solution that integrates new hardware and software products into your current network.
