What’s Included in Consulting Services Project Plan Review

Planning, goal setting and establishing a clear overview of the entire project are critical elements in the success of any WAN optimization project. Through the Project Plan Review, Expand will work with you to establish a comprehensive project plan addressing every phase of the undertaking, including:

• Installation Planning
• Configuration
• Testing
• Best Practices
• Troubleshooting

During this engagement we gather critical information, identify all required features/ functionality, and establish clear objectives and overall operating parameters. The end result is a comprehensive roadmap for the entire project.

Specialized Tools: WAN Healthcheck

As part of our Professional Services offerings, Expand Networks gives you access to special set of tools and programs developed by Expand that are focused specifically on helping you pinpoint WAN performance issues, resolving them and understanding the full financial implications.

A WAN Healthcheck from Expand Networks will diagnose specific performance challenges—i.e., peak period congestion, applicationspecific issues—and show you how to get more from your WAN without investing in more bandwidth.
