Network Design

It was once said, "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail." Network implementations and upgrades are no different. A network design is just like an architect's blueprints for a building. It serves as a guide for the framework of your information systems. This provides systems analysts with a clear depiction of the "As Is" and "To Be" models. Analysts can use this tool to ensure that the IT infrastructure is capable of supporting the business objectives of your organization.

Implementation

Many IT initiatives are based on the perception that a particular solution will solve a problem, meet a goal or improve a condition. However, there are a lot of moving parts in your network infrastructure and each one depends upon another for continuous availability. It can be easy to get wrapped up in the technical details of an IT project and lose focus of the big picture. This is why most executives consider IT an expense which many times doesn't actually provide the perceived benefit.

Most of the time, it is not the client's perception or even the proposed solution which was faulty but rather the implementation.
