Internal IT Assessment Services Overview

Does your system provide your business the reliability and competitive advantage that you expect?

MINIMIZE RISK WITH AN ASSESSMENT FROM NETWORKING EXPERTS!


Real Network Assessments start with a thorough understanding of your business and require knowledge of the entire operational environment.  We could run a few tools and print out thick reports that make it look like we did a big job but we choose to do manual review and analysis that focuses on specific areas of risk that matters the most to your business.

Analysis Methodology

As new technologies emerge, businesses are becoming increasingly dependant on these systems and their service organizations to facilitate communications as mission critical business services. As a result these technologies are often deployed without a formal business and engineering process plan, typically lack adequate documentation and usually result in a system with negligible return on investment (ROI).

Since these systems are critical to the operation of your business, BC Networks formalizes this technology deployment process through applying a highly predictable methodology which provides you with a ‘Roadmap’ to meet your business requirements while at the same time provide a level of documentation required to achieve accountability and visibility into all of the planning, budgeting and scheduling activity required to achieve results.

Strategic Roadmap

The result of our assessment can be used as a technology roadmap, which will help identify, prioritize, and propose potential solutions that guide the expenditure of capital funds intended to remedy discovered problems. Without a well defined plan you run the risk of executing on individual IT decisions without regard for an overall strategy or direction.

This Roadmap should be reviewed and aligned on an annual basis ensuring consistent alignment with business objectives.

Our Assessment services program addresses your business pain, by obtaining business requirements in some of the following areas:

4 Performance & Availability
4 Capacity Planning
4 Informed IT purchasing & budgeting
 
4 ITIL service management methodology
4 Minimize downtime & lost productivity
 

Requirements Gathering


BC Networks will facilitate the gathering of requirements by interviewing key stakeholders in identifying and documenting both general and specific system requirements.

 
 

Discovery


An inspection will be performed to discover whether or not the current system meets the desired requirements and then document each of the findings and risks.

 
  Findings
The findings and corrective actions will be documented identifying each associated risk. This will help you obtain a clear understanding the weaknesses within your system.

 
  Recommendations
Recommendations will be made for each finding along with an explanation of the associated risks with a rationale for each determination.
