Build Your Network Improve and Secure Use Automation

Nowadays, businesses looking to grow to the next level should have a custom designed network. Your standard “one-size-fits-all” network just won’t work anymore. Your vision, your goals, and your business objectives are just too unique for that cookie-cutter solution. It’s not just networks, your infrastructure, cabling, cloud solutions, network upgrades, and much more should all have special, custom attention, design, and maintenance if you truly wish to be the most efficient business of your field.

This is when professional services come in. With professional services, anything from computer updates, devices, or servers within your network can be custom designed. Businesses choose professional services for a variety of reasons: they could be moving to a new location and need someone to set up their computers for them and make sure it all works, the systems are way too old and may no longer be safe or reliable, the processes and procedures need improving, or they want to expand their workflow and not be tied down to an office. These services can help your business become much more efficient, save you money, and show off your unique skills. Your services should be custom to you and how you work, and whether it’s large projects or smaller automation features, our professional services will help move you ahead.

Take a look at your current network. Are you paying for it part by part? Is it unpredictable? Are you stuck in the same processes but don’t know how to change because it isn’t a cohesive unit? Are all your cables, servers, computers, desktops, wifi, etc. just parts that are pushed together to work as a system? If so, you have a frankenstein network. If your network is put together piece-by-piece like Frankenstein’s monster, your fate might end up being the same as as his.

Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but your network definitely needs to go through a change. A custom designed network from a managed services provider (MSP) who specializes in professional services, like Cognoscape, can do just that. But first, how will your network improve if you stop frankensteining it? There are many qualities to benefit from:

You’ll Be Never Caught Off Guard Because of the specialized nature of professional services, only professionals with years of knowledge and experience are trusted enough to get the job done correctly, so you’re guaranteed to receive quality work when you turn to professional services. With your network, you can rest easy knowing that we’ll engineer a reliable, efficient, and predictable network for you. Not only will we engineer a network custom to your specific business goals and how you run your company, but we will also constantly monitor and maintain your network to make sure it’s running like a well oiled machine. We will leverage proactive services which scan your system 24/7/365 and deal with any potential danger right away. The benefits of this are massive when it comes to your wallet and business productivity level. Firstly, this proactive nature greatly reduces the risk of any major, network halting disasters. The software installed is programmed to deal with your problems right away, organizing them by risk priority. Secondly, this saves you any additional costs of having to roll out a technician to your location and pay them by the hour. And thirdly, if you need a help desk, you’ll have one available to you 24/7. The days of an unpredictable network are over with a custom designed one from professional services.

We’ll Keep You In the Loop With the Next Best Thing Our experts are also constantly researching the latest technology trends, methodologies, inventions and

innovations, and there is no way we’ll hold that information from you. We’ll keep you informed on the next best thing, such as the cloud and all it’s mobility benefits, VoIP and

all its communication options, virtualization, and much more. We’ll also make sure that you always have the most updated version of any app your network may be using, and we’ll scale with you as you grow. Leveraging professional services from an MSP will give you the tools and support you need to meet any business objective you set. Could you be this flexible with a Frankenstein network?

It’s no wonder that in the next 2-3 years, clients plan to outsource more and more. It’s actually been proven that outsourcing is one of the best practices to embrace if you’re focused on reducing costs with maximum quality results. In this study from KPMG, it was found that the rationale for IT outsourcing in the next years comes from cost savings (26%), quality improvement (21%), skills access (19%), financial flexibility and market time (11%).

When you build your network how you want it to work, your life becomes a whole lot simpler and you’ll have time to focus on your business rather than your IT. First, evaluate how you want to work. Do you want a system that will leave tasks up to your employees to maintain and complete, or do you want things to be automated? Whatever it is, professional services will begin by assessing your network and analyzing the best route to take when customizing it. Automation is essentially when you automate your technology to act a certain way with minimal human intervention. This type of software is used in many types of industries, such as the manufacturing industry, aircraft, banking, logistics, transportation, and, of course, IT. Automation has been

utilized in a way where we’re able to reduce the need for labor and save resources, all while increasing speed, quality, and accuracy. What this does is give you back the time you’ve been wasting. With automation taking care of the little, boring tasks, you and your employees can have more time to be creative and strategic. When it comes to how this benefits your network, there are many ways we can program it to work with you and not against you. Say you’re on a tight deadline. You’ve just received a massive order, but you only have enough manpower to handle about 50-60% of it. If you have certain automation tasks programmed into your network, such as automatic inventory updates or automatic data entry, this can help you complete your work faster and more efficiently, along with eliminating any human errors and data duplication. Also, your network will never get tired, unlike us humans. And, to maintain this high quality performance, we will always monitor your system network to make sure it’s acting the way it needs to be. Don’t worry, maintenence also comes included with many of the professional services we offer. You can also incorporate various applications into your network and automate them as well, such as cloud services, and automation can take place on your desktop or server. Really, anywhere you want. With a custom network, we’ll also design it in a way where you don’t have to worry about laborious processes such as manual installations or software writing.

We briefly touched on automation in the second article, but we’ll go more into depth here. Automation is a very valuable technology method to leverage specifically, the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is the concept of connecting multiple devices via the internet, creating a smart and reliable system. The ‘things’ are devices that gather, store, analyze, and respond to data. Automation makes it possible for the Internet of Things to make major lifestyle improvements possible, such as smart fridges that let you know when something is running low, smart surveillance systems that can notify you if someone tries to break in, intelligent traffic control systems will make vehicles smart enough to alter their speed depending on the situation ahead, and hotels that have built-in sensors in air-conditioning systems, remote control lighting, and coffee-makers. In the business sense, our professional service experts will design a custom infrastructure around your specific workflow and maximize profits and opportunities by automating processes. With automation, you’ll be able to:

● Reduce Errors – Manual and human error would be greatly reduced with automation. Notifications can go out when something is wrong. This will save time and resources as well.

● Improve Communication – The system can be set to automatically notify employees when a task is complete, and inform them of anything else they need to know.

● Achieve Complete Transparency – Management visibility and internal status reporting is made easy when a workflow is automated correctly. Employee approval hierarchy and accountability can now be clearly stated for all to see.

● Scalability – When those time-consuming tasks are automated, you’ll have more time and resources to grow. Then, your company can meet new demands and eliminate bottlenecks.

● Integration – You can always work it out to where you integrate various applications where you see fit, and automate their functions as well. Combining these all into one large, cohesive unit will simplify your life immensely.

● Organization – Automation will just help with organization overall. Everything will be organized and in view, reducing your chances of forgetting something important, and you can set up notifications to be sent to you through any medium (email, text message)

● Constant Reports – Overall reports on how your system is working makes it easier to make decisions, learn what’s working and what isn’t, and strategize your next move.

● More Time – Eliminating repetitive and manual processes motivates employees and allows them to focus on more important tasks which, in turn, can boost morale and enhance product innovation.
