Preparing the Enterprise to Meet the Future
Ready your enterprise to use tomorrow's technology today
The Compaq Enterprise Architecture Workshop for Next-Generation Network Infrastructures shows your enterprise how to prepare its IT Infrastructure for the future in support of your key business strategies.
Benefits of an Enterprise Architecture Workshop for NextGeneration Network Infrastructures:
Moving ahead, staying ahead
The phenomenal rate at which today's business environment is moving is causing a paradigm shift where use of technology can be a competitive advantage. A new level of technologies is emerging that provides enhanced services and intelligence to the network infrastructure and business applications. These "Internet Network Services", such as Voice over IP, video conferencing, unified messaging, directory-enabled networks, and policy-based management, will help businesses enhance their IT infrastructure to meet business challenges as they move into the Internet generation.
The first step in this process is to determine how technology can enable the successful implementation of business processes and strategies. The Compaq Workshop for Next-Generation Network Infrastructures brings your key IT decision makers together with Compaq Solution Architects who specialize in developing nextgeneration network architectures and strategies for major enterprises and service providers. The Compaq Solution Team leads the workshop using a proven Compaq methodology to explore current and future business processes and strategies, application implementations, and their impact on the IT infrastructure.
The result of the workshop is a high-level strategy document outlining the current business environment, future business environment, and recommendations for developing a next-generation network architecture to meet future business requirements.
Personalized workshop meets enterprise's needs
A Compaq Enterprise Architecture Workshop leader meets with the CIO or other executive sponsor beforehand to determine the location, agenda, goals, and expectations for the workshop.
The workshop is kicked off by the client's executive sponsor, and followed by a two day working session with the key stakeholders in the client's business strategy and IT management organization. Using a structured methodology, the Compaq Workshop leader and solution architect explore current and future business and IT infrastructure environments. Topics may include business applications, Internet network services, network transport, enterprise management, and the interdependencies between them, depending on the client's specific needs.
Compaq delivers an executive summary of the workshop discussion and conclusions, followed by a complete analysis that details current and future business environment and IT infrastructure requirements, and provides recommendations on how key, emerging technologies can be incorporated to enable the successful implementation of the business strategy.
