NIL Consulting Services

What is NIL Consult?

Mission critical corporate internetworks and information infrastructure have unique issues that don't fall into a defined category and cannot be covered with a fixed set of productized services. They require special customized services that are flexible and adaptable and span the entire information infrastructure life cycle: planning, design, implementation, assistance and operation. To cover these needs, NIL offers NIL Consult, customized consulting services for every phase of the information infrastructure life cycle.

Our clients can adapt NIL Consult in a variety of ways, but its full benefit can be reaped in conjunction with other NIL Assist services. Clients might use NIL Consult for project engineering, technical consulting and management expertise. Working with our clients, our technical team will help them to evaluate, design, plan, implement, and operate complex information infrastructures. By augmenting client's existing staff, they can contribute to one or many stages of a short or long-term project, bringing enormous technical knowledge and practical experience to a team.

Recognising that our clients view their information infrastructure as a strategic asset as well as one of the building blocks of their competitive advantage, our approach is to combine short term solutions with longer term development and education of the clients' in-house networking staff. This way, our clients not only receive a solution, but also knowledge and skills necessary to maintain and troubleshoot this area in the future. NIL therefore provides two types of consulting services:

  • strategic consulting - dealing with global problems of building enterprise information infrastructure
  • tactical consulting - providing customers with solutions to specific problems encountered during exploitation of information infrastructure

Strategic Consulting

With the ever increasing demands on corporate IT managers, our clients have little or no time to focus on future requirements, impacts of new technologies and information infrastructure trends. NIL actively monitors technology trends and participates in early trials of new technologies, and can therefore offer independent advice on a variety of issues from the arrival of new multimedia applications like Voice-over-IP to the risks and benefits of new network technologies like virtual networks or ATM. By measuring the impact of new business requirements, we will assist our clients in utilising existing systems where possible in conjunction with suggesting future avenues where appropriate.

The most common form of this type of consulting services are strategic projects outlining company's information infrastructure evolution or migration options, giving our clients a clear blueprint for their long-term growth. Strategic consulting is usually sought by large clients seeking long-term solutions and for their complex internetworks. NIL has helped upgrade or deploy information infrastructure of several large enterprises with complex requirements in heterogeneous environment.

Tactical Consulting

NIL performs tactical consulting through meetings, technical reports, recommendations and other ways of communications with customers. Results of tactical consulting services are presented to customers in form of technical reports, proposals etc. Network monitoring, troubleshooting, traffic and trends analysis are all included as part of tactical consulting.

Tactical consulting will give our clients the best return-on-investment when combined with other NIL Assist services like continuous assistance in day-to-day operation of their networks.

Benefits of NIL Consult

Clients using NIL Consult services benefit from first-hand experience our engineers have gained by designing, implementing and troubleshooting large multiprotocol networks. Consulting services will enable our clients to build optimal networks, implement them faster and operate them more efficiently, resulting in faster return-on-investment and lower total cost of information infrastructure ownership.
