Have you chosen to implement managed network solutions in your business? If so, congratulations--it's an excellent choice for efficiency, security, and your bottom line. However, before you start, there are a few questions you need to ask yourself in order to get the most out of managed network solutions.
Big Questions
Making the decision to implement managed network solutions was the hard part. Everything that comes afterward should be easy and stress-free--and it can be, as long as you've done just a little bit of homework so you know what to expect. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you get started!
#1: "What do we want to control?"
Some companies are perfectly happy to hand over the reins to a network professional, while others want to maintain control of certain things. No matter which camp you fall into, it's important to understand what you want--and to communicate this to your managed services provider. That way, you get solutions that are perfect for your needs and goals.
#2: "Are we ready to make changes?"
Everyone can get a little stuck in their ways sometimes--but when it comes to managed network solutions, you have to be flexible and ready to make some important changes. Of course, you should also feel comfortable communicating any questions or reservations you might have, so that you always understand what you're changing and why.
#3: "What do we need?"
This seems like a simple question, but it can get complicated the more you think about it. Essentially, it's important to understand what your company's biggest challenges are, where they're coming from, and what you're willing to do to change that.
