In the network world, professional services are relied upon for the implementation of solutions offered by network providers. In many cases, when enterprises are facing projects like hardware refreshes, impending upgrades or the need for a new network design, there aren’t enough internal resources available to see through execution. When working with the right provider, engaging professional services is a great way to gain access to highly skilled network specialists who will be able to tackle all of your network needs.
Professional network services can include a broad range of outputs, including:
“Professional services is a group of engineers and partners that are certified on Extreme solutions, and our roles focus on the implementation of the solutions that we offer. We also do consultative work. Implementation consists of everything from layer 1: cabling, mounting, racking and stacking through configuration design work, and post-installation.” – Mark Blouch, Director of Professional Services, Extreme Networks
As enterprises globally are pursuing digital transformation, migration to cutting-edge IT technologies and software-defined networks are common, but difficult undertakings. Concurrently, most organizations either don’t have the time to fully see through such projects, or don’t have the internal expertise to do so correctly. Some businesses attempt to take on large network projects internally, but often reach a point where they either get stuck, or they get into trouble with an outage.
Engaging professional services gives your business the opportunity to gain an internal expert on the solution you’re looking to implement. Resident services are also an option when staff augmentation is needed; whether there’s a shortage or an unexpected need arises, professional services can provide the resources necessary for the work you need support for.
At the end of the day, achieving agility and adaptiveness is critical to thriving in the midst of digitalization. The software-defined method is swiftly replacing the legacy, manual approach to networking, and your business has to keep up in order to deliver IT at the speed of business. Your network is the backbone that supports the life of your organization, and if you don’t have the necessary internal resources to stay connected and optimize operations, professional services may be the key to your success.
