Most networks work well when originally designed and installed.
However, network speed and functionality may degrade when, for example, additional people are added to the network, Internet access is provided, email systems are installed, or voice response systems are developed. To help customers assess the operation and improve the performance of their networks, Professional Services can review traffic volumes, determine bottlenecks, appraise segmentation patterns, and review the functionality of existing equipment. Network Management System Design Keeping a network running smoothly can be facilitated with network management systems. Such systems can monitor key network functions, anticipate problems and better plan for future expansions. Professional Services' consultants can work with customers to design and implement a management system that provides a high level of functionality and enhances network operations.
