RESIDENT CONSULTANT
Product Overview
Whether your organization competes
in today’s highly competitive and
dynamic market or provides high value
public services, there is tremendous
pressure on your IT sta to continuously
adapt and scale your network so that

initiatives. To accomplish this, sta

ability to keep abreast of these rapidly
evolving technologies while attempting
to deploy new network capabilities
and resource-intensive network
adaptation can strain internal resources,
cause costly network downtime, and
impede time-to-value for your network
investment.
