Generally speaking, the professional services offered by Convergent Communications are defined as infrequent technical services that are billable at an hourly or fixed contractual rate. They are designed to supplement your existing IT infrastructure and provide a means by which you can engage Convergent Communications to help you solve extraordinary technical problems within our areas of expertise and those of our partners.
Network Assessment's are defined based upon the results that you're looking for. In many cases they are implemented in the early stages of any major network deployment and especially when considering adding VOIP applications. They can also be used to troubleshoot existing network problems or plan LAN / WAN expansions. Because the nature of these assessments varies we offer services that are defined in a "scope of work" and executed by professional engineers. Depending upon the circumstances we will be your single point of contact to manage these services from multiple vendors. In any case, Network assessments are often "table stakes" when considering major network upgrades or solving existing problems.
These assessments are designed to discover any weaknesses' that might be in your network and unknown to you. This could be compliance related issues, internet denial of service attacks that would pose a security problem, network traffic problems dealing with multiple ISP or a way to verify SLA's from your providers. Whatever the case may be, Convergent Communications working in conjunction with our partners can help you find the problems before they manifest themselves into larger issues that have real consequences.
