Utilizing a reliable, experienced vendor for your network hardware Implementation and Deployment projects will help you succeed on time and within budget.

There are many challenges to large scale network hardware deployments so you need a vendor you can trust to deal with those challenges. Implementations that fail to come in on time generally do so for lack of planning. Extropy experts have the experience to properly plan and execute your implementation and deployment projects.

SOLUTION ELEMENTS

Our solutions vary based on your needs, but common elements of these solutions and their deliverables are:

• Program and Project Management There are a lot of nuances to network hardware installation and deployment projects. Large scale multi-site implementations require comprehensive planning and resource management to ensure that critical path project elements are completed and do not gate dependant project items. Extropy will provide a single point of contact who will work with your designated project owner to manage the entire implementation and deployment project. Our project management experts have deep experience in IT specific projects and how to deal with all of the moving pieces, challenges and pitfalls inherent to these types of initiatives.

   

• Site survey and assessment A major source of missed timelines are facilities issues. Having a great network design is one thing but ensuring that you have the space, power, and HVAC available to support it is another. Extropy experts will conduct site acquisition, site surveys, develop requirements for install, and manage/track facilities upgrades and remediations prior to install.

   

• Physical Device Installation Installing your equipment improperly can put your investment at risk. Extropy will supply resources knowledgeable, or train and manage your workforce, on the correct installation procedures for your equipment. Extropy will get your equipment assembled, installed, cabled, and tested to the highest standards.

   

• Device Configuration, Test and Cutover Have faith that configurations created during network engineering are applied correctly and in accordance with change management controls, by having Extropy deploy and configure your devices. While every precaution is taken during design and engineering to create the proper configurations and, identify and mitigate risk, there are often items that need to be adjusted during installation and cut over to get the system integrated properly. Extropy has the people with the experience to adapt to changes and unforeseen issues to keep the project successful, on time, and within budget. Our experts will work to get your systems integrated, test connectivity and functionality and any other items defined per the install and test plans.
