White Paper Summary

Winning the High-Stakes Game of Enterprise Network Outsourcing

Reducing Risk and Building Confidence with Network Asset Management Solutions

Summary:

Driven by applications like VoIP and the increased scope and complexity of today's networks, enterprise network outsourcing is poised to grow explosively over the next several years. As opportunities for outsourcers increase, so does their need to have in place a fast, proven means by which to inventory network assets at an engagement's onset, and manage them closely going forward. No service level agreements can be realistically promised nor kept, nor can any efficiencies be gained, without first knowing the exact state of a customer's network.

This whitepaper examines the business issues driving growth of the network outsourcing market, the associated risks for outsourcers and their clients, and the pivotal role played by network change management products and solutions such as Visionael Network Resource Manager (NRM) in enabling both parties to mitigate the risks and maximize the benefits of outsourced network operations.

Visionael NRM ensures the successful planning, roll-out and ongoing maintenance of essential business processes. Across the network lifecycle, it addresses five key phases — Discover, Design, Deploy, Provision and Operate — and, in doing so, helps both providers and customers win in today's high-stakes, billion-dollar IT poker game: network outsourcing.
