Essential to all successful technology implementations, the planning and design phases ensure that pertinent information is gathered, shared, understood and documented. Planning and design helps limit the unknowns that frequently occur in complex technology implementation.
Planning
Planning provides a detailed analysis that strives to identify information necessary to build a design that meets your current and future needs.
· Understand the existing voice and data networks
· Identify and address infrastructure performance and quality of service requirements
· Eliminate the guesswork associated with size and scope of the proposed network
· Identify the solution requirements and expectations and ensure that they are addressed in the design phase
· Reduce design and deployment costs by providing accurate data for the design phase
Design
The design phase uses the information gathered during the planning phase to craft a solution that meets the stated goals. The output or deliverable from the design phase will not only define the solution to be implemented, but also articulate how the solution will be deployed through future project phases.
