- 4. “Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe… ...and upon which we must vigorously act.”- Pablo Picasso
- 5. SO HOW DO YOU CRAFT AN EFFECTIVE PLAN? These words still hold true today, but can be overlooked in a rush to introduce new things. Some projects seem simple or highly circumscribed. But because at Axians Networks, we have made networks our business, they are rarely the latter. So how do you craft an effective plan…? It starts with knowing precisely where you are. The decisions you make now impact how your network is implemented today and also how flexible it is for the future.

- 6. “When we build... ...let us think that we build forever.” – John Ruskin
- 7. BUILDING FOR TODAY, INVESTING FOR TOMORROW... John Ruskin The great builders of the past created impressive structures using human strength and innovative tools and techniques to augment them. Just think of the pyramids of Egypt - massive stones pulled up huge ramps by thousands of workers to create structures of power and beauty. Building always starts with a plan and the same rules apply to your network. As a specialist networking integrator, Axians Networks takes great care when planning the build phase for our clients’ networks; We focus on the deployment of products in both test and production environments We consider the migration from your existing environment to the new environment We are experts at installation and configuration, system test, and system build Once you have your initial plan on paper, you need to consider how it works in the ‘real world’. How do you fully integrate the management of any new equipment into your existing administrative structures? Can you be sure that all of the work during the Plan and Build phases will come together? Just like the Egyptians who were the master craftsman of their day, Axians Networks are the master craftsman of network design today. Let us help you get your project off the ground and build a network architecture to stand the test of time. BUILD Deploy your new or upgraded network and security system.

- 8. Maintenance is not enough... ...you need commitment to make it work
- 9. SUCCESS DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT... In some ways, the ‘Network Lifecycle’ can be likened to that of a relationship. You make the decision to commit – and then comes the big day. Decisions must be made, compromises negotiated, participants agreed, budgets set. The ceremony is done, the party is over and now you have to live together... It is the same for your network architecture. Once you have made the commitment, you have to live with it and plan its long-term future. This is where Axians Networks can be your trusted partner and take some of the pressure off; We can help maintain your environment and ensure it runs smoothly 24x7x365 We provide fast solutions to pressing problems and fix things when they break We make sure the whole network is working at an optimum and can adapt to new demands quickly with a minimum amount of fuss We aren’t shy of the commitment.
