Network Installation
Because proper planning is the key to a successful network installation, we begin each
project with a client interview to determine the requirements of the network. Some of
the questions that need to be answered at this stage are:
- What are the key purposes of the network?
- What software will the client use to perform critical business functions?
- What are the hardware and operating system requirements of all software?
- How many users and how many locations will be involved in the network?
- How much growth is anticipated over the next 3 to 5 years?
- Who will provide ongoing support and administration for the network?
- Does the client have a budget for the network?
- Does the client have installation deadlines for the network?

Network solutions to fit your needs!

With the client's requirements in mind, our network engineers and sales specialists
meet to discuss the design of the network. This planning phase allows us to consider
all possible design options and to develop an installation plan that takes into
consideration all of the client's requirements as well as any existing infrastructure
or equipment. Once our installation plan is complete, a network engineer and sales
specialist will meet with the client's designated representatives to discuss the plan
and to explain the reasons for our recommendations in each area of the plan.
The installation phase begins once an agreement is reached on the scope and design of
the network. During the installation phase the client will be updated regularly on the
progress of the project. Any unforeseen technical difficulties will be explained to the
client and a plan to overcome these problems will be decided on by both parties. A final
installation meeting will be scheduled when the installation phase nears completion.
Each aspect of the completed project will be covered in this final installation meeting,
giving the client an opportunity to discuss any installation issues with our technical
staff. A 30-day and 90-day follow up meeting will be scheduled at the completion of the
installation.
The Support Phase is the final phase of network implementation. Some clients prefer to
handle daily end-user technical support internally, while many clients choose to have
our staff provide ongoing systems administration and user support. Verteks Consulting,
Inc. offers a wide variety of support options and we will customize our support plan
to fit each client's needs.
