Technology Integration Practices are the foundation of our Firm. Complementing
these Practices is the COMMONd
Project Lifecycle. Based on four stages-Define-Design-Deploy-Manage,
our methodology can adapt to any phase of a project.
These four areas have been developed to help our clients grow their
network infrastructure in a smart and appropriate manner.
Define
At a high level, the Define stage begins the process with an identification
of our client's needs and goals. Goals are analyzed from both a business
and a technical perspective. The existing network is base lined, and
our Project Management team sketches out a project plan.
Design
Design incorporates the outcome of the Define stage together with requirements
for a network topology. At this stage, models for network addressing
and naming are considered, switching and routing protocols are selected
and Security and Network Management strategies are incorporated.
Deployment
Once technologies are selected, and prior to Deployment, detailed testing,
optimization and documentation takes place. Project plan execution begins
the Deployment stage. Our Project Management team oversees project deployment
as well as the entire project lifecycle.
Management
Proactive Network Management is the fourth area of the project lifecycle.
Tools and processes are implemented, performance is monitored and configurations
are managed.
Finally, as requirements evolve, the project lifecycle continues. COMMONd
is committed to assisting our clients throughout the lifecycle.
