Deploy
Planning is only a small piece of implementing new technology, projects or processes.
The installation, configuration and testing phases are equally as important.
NCS Network's process provides vendor-neutral practicality and project focus to help
you implement and fully utilize new data and storage tools without disruptions to daily
operations.  By resolving most issues in our lab and not at your site, we can help you
complete your projects on time and within budget.

Implementation
Implementing a new technology means getting the most out of your investment. Without
proper installation and configuration, your ROI could fall short. Today's complex environments
often include multiple disk and tape solutions, server OS platforms, LAN and WAN protocols, as
well as various system management and storage utilities such as multiple backup applications.
Installing new data technologies usually requires a wider variety of skills than any single hardware
or software vendor can provide.   NCS Network's process helps you ensure that new technologies
are installed and configured optimally. After all, new technologies should deliver maximum capability
and performance to your environment.  NCS Network's provide a single point of contact for your
most complex implementation challenges — providing multi-vendor project management, installation,
testing, configuration, performance tuning, data migration, etc.
We can effectively and objectively manage the "finger-pointing" that can sometimes occur during
complex implementation projects. We can help you complete new technology installation on time
and within budget.   NCS Network work closely with your staff to define test conditions, set up testing
scenarios, run tests, and verify test results. Seven Group can help you verify that sufficient data is
tested to simulate your production environment and identify and resolve potential problems before
production implementation.   NCS Network will train your staff in the new technologies and perform
knowledge transfer. This will help to ensure long-term success.

Project Management
NCS Network provide the required project management skills and focus to make your project a
success, while minimizing the project's impact on business operations. Our consultants prepare a
documented Project Plan including the estimated scope, duration, size, and effort — thereby giving
you accurate project costs. We also document success criteria for all project stakeholders, and
ensure that these are met during the project. All projects are documented and managed using
automated tools and a structured methodology. Your NCS Network project manager also facilitates
formal and effective communication throughout the project — keeping projects on track and eliminating
small problems before they result in costly delays.
