Understanding the importance of a network assessment is key
A proactive technology assessment can help you understand the current state of your IT and help identify existing issues and catch problems early on so that you can outline a plan to improve them.
Planning a new implementation on your network but not sure if you fully understand if you have the current systems and resources to support it? Or perhaps you wonder if there’s a hole in your security or why you don’t have enough bandwidth. A technology assessment or network assessment is the key to understanding these potential issues, and more.
What’s a technology assessment?
A technology assessment is a review of the state of your IT environment, specifically including the performance of your infrastructure, security posture, processes, and management. Enterprise-size organizations typically have the internal resources to conduct these assessments. However, small to mid-size businesses with little or no IT staff or expertise may require the help of an experienced technology partner to perform an accurate and thorough technology assessment.
When is the best time for a network assessment?
Anytime you are unsure of what’s going on with your network is always the best time to have a network assessment performed. However, it’s best to plan far in advance if you are planning a large rollout, replacing aging infrastructure, or if you’re contemplating a change to your structure such as moving into the cloud or engaging a managed service provider to help you manage your IT.
