Network Technology Optimisation

Computacenter’s Network Technology Optimisation services will drive down cost and align IT communication services more closely with business needs.

Business Challenge

Networks are fundamental to every organisation: carrying vital information to employees, customers, partners and suppliers and enabling collaboration in real-time.

Despite their central role, many organisations rely on disparate, complex network infrastructures to deliver different information, such as data from business applications, customer transactions, voice and video content. An overly complex network infrastructure makes it difficult to ensure that information and services are available where and when the business and its users need them.

Given this complexity, IT departments face a much greater management challenge. Failure to optimise network technologies or processes can result in organisations having to invest in more resources or IT assets.

At a time when IT departments are being asked to deliver higher levels of service with fewer resources, organisations need to rationalise their network infrastructures, suppliers and processes to remove both cost and complexity.

Computacenter Solution

Computacenter has extensive networking experience – from deploying structured cabling and IP telephony infrastructures to developing data acceleration strategies. Our services span the entire network optimisation lifecycle, including:

Strategy: Computacenter will work with you to understand your network infrastructure and build the business justification for optimisation. Our experts will assess the utilisation and configuration of existing network devices and connections to maximise redeployment options and minimise capital expenditure.

Transform: Once we have mapped your network architecture, we will identify those assets that need replacing and any opportunities for redeployment. We will also put in place processes to simplify ongoing management and ensure that your network is future-proofed. Computacenter accelerates ‘time to results’ by identifying the most effective deployment strategy. With proof of concepts, pilots and best practice project management methodologies, we will reduce your implementation risks and costs.

Key Benefit

Computacenter’s Network Technology Optimisation services enable organisations to transform their network platforms and processes. This will result in:

Cost reduction: With an optimised network, organisations can consolidate devices and suppliers, thereby reducing the IT management burden and associated overhead. Technologies, such as caching and acceleration, will also reduce telecommunication costs while better network monitoring will prevent over-spending on bandwidth.

Risk avoidance: Organisations can mitigate the risk of network outages and service degradation by preventing applications from consuming excessive bandwidth. An optimised network will also benefit from greater security, which enhances data protection and maintains your organisation’s reputation.

Business agility: New services, sites and users can be added more quickly and securely to a centralised and standardised network. This, in turn, allows changes to be supported easily and quickly. Improved network scalability and flexibility will also reduce future capital investment in new assets and projects.
