Digitalization is an un-stoppable force that no organization can afford to overlook. Businesses of all shapes and forms are compelled to reimagine their operations, forge deeper connections with customers, and uncover innovative revenue streams. At the heart of this transformation is a robust network infrastructure, which is why Managed Network Services (MNS) are increasingly sought after, to meet these challenges.
To gain deeper insights on the impact of MNS implementation, we delved into a “Peer Lessons Learned” report, which analyzed 136 diverse reviews. This compilation of real-world experiences offers invaluable guidance for IT leaders. By understanding the challenges and successes of their peers, IT leaders and C-suite executives can make informed decisions and optimize their MNS strategies.
Aligning MNS Provider’s Capabilities with Strategic Goals
Another critical lesson is to ascertain whether the capabilities of potential MNS providers align with your organization’s strategic goals.
It is also a smart move to involve your finance department early in the negotiations. They can review the proposed billing structure, and identify potential adjustments for a smooth transition. Plus, conducting a thorough return on investment (ROI) analysis will help ensure that everyone is on the same page, and fully understands the financial implications as well as benefits of this partnership.
Fostering Collaboration and Resource Management
Additionally, successful MNS implementation also requires collaboration across various teams. This includes network engineers, project managers, and other relevant stakeholders. Involving these teams from the preliminary stages will quite likely streamline the MNS deployment, ensuring that all facets are duly considered.
Maximize Vendor Support
Maximizing vendor support is another crucial aspect of a smooth MNS implementation.
The benefit of delegating day-to-day network management tasks to the vendor is that your employees can now focus on strategic initiatives, while improving overall network monitoring, reliability, performance, and security.
