IT Project Management
CenterBeam's Professional Services Methodology
Professional Services Overview (pdf)
CenterBeam's consultants apply their experience and technical knowledge to each step of your project using tested-and-proven processes. We place emphasis on two key factors required for a successful project: project management and documentation. Throughout each phase of your project, you can expect proactive management and meticulous documentation so you receive a high performance environment that meets the most stringent regulations and requirements.
Throughout our engagement, we provide reports on open issues, communication plans, project plans and risk management. Our methodology ensures we not only deliver on time, we align to your business goals.
Upon project completion, you will receive full documentation, including:
-
Design
-
Drawings
-
Procedures
-
Configuration
-
Asset information
With this information, you will have all you need to continue to successfully operate your environment after the engagement concludes.
Assessment
Our network consulting specialists act as strategic partners evaluating your current network infrastructure architecture and capabilities for the following:
-
Support of current requirements including number of users, locations and applications
-
Scalability
-
Security
-
Manageability
-
Cost Savings
Design
Based on the recommendations of the assessment, CenterBeam's engineering team will design a scalable, custom network to accommodate your specific technical and business needs and budget. Our processes are fully documented, including product specifications, test and migration plans and cost estimates.
Proof of Concept and Testing
CenterBeam builds a proof of concept from the design and then develops a test lab either at CenterBeam's facility or on your premises. The proof of concept is a non-production proving ground for design validation.
Deployment
The deployment process is a two-phased approach that includes:
1. Pilot Phase: This trial phase is an actual deployment of the newly designed and tested network to a subset of the entire environment. The pilot phase identifies potential issues that can occur in the live deployment making your launch quicker and smoother.
2. Full Deployment: Once the pilot phase has been completed, the full-scale deployment is executed based on a pre-determined execution plan limiting downtime to individual users.
