Technology Planning: Network Connectivity
The Process of Improving Your Networking Environment
Organizations must be able to provide the right level of network connectivity to remote, hybrid and in-office users. Achieving this goal requires a comprehensive approach to planning the stages of your technology journey.
Mapping Your Network Connectivity Journey
PHASE 1
Preparation
Engage in a workshop to identify and match your business requirements to technical solution capabilities.
- Identify your business goals for deploying/upgrading network connectivity.
- Identify technical solution capabilities that satisfy those goals.
- Create a formal report describing which solutions fit your needs.
PHASE 2
Assessment
Assessments help ensure there are no surprises during deployment. Which assessment you choose depends on where you are in your solution purchasing cycle.
- A full-blown network assessment can help you identify what you have and how to potentially improve it.
- If you’ve already made a purchase decision, you may simply want a CDW engineer to help you plan out a deployment that includes a low-level design.
PHASE 3
Implementation and Adoption
First, roll out your new solution. Then, consider deployment enhancements.
- Pilot part of your solution to validate changes.
- Roll out remaining devices or locations.
- Establish an ongoing cadence with CDW engineers to help determine if enhancements are recommended.
- Consider additional adoption services to assist with ongoing refinements.
