Consultancy

Netpar provide specialist advice and guidance in any area associated with the strategy, design, procurement, delivery, maintenance and effective use of Local Area Network Infrastructures and Structured Cabling Systems.

Whilst the bulk of our expertise lies within network and cabling infrastructure, our experiences working within large corporate organisations and with many IT vendors give us a breadth of knowledge of standards and practices used across Information Systems as a whole.

What distinguishes our consultancy service from others in the marketplace?

Firstly, we have direct experience of being "the client". This enables us to appreciate your requirement in context with internal policies that can sometimes determine the way a solution is delivered or even the choice of technology.

Secondly, we view the true role of a consultant to be working "with" you and not simply "for" you. One of our priorities is to impart the required level of knowledge to your staff to enable them to fully understand the deliverable, which will enable your company to maintain and enhance the solution after our assignment has finished.

Finally, we have positioned the service beyond the role of a traditional contractor. Netpar provide cost effective consultancy, we do our own research and training in our own time and use our own resources wherever possible. This means that we are "100% effective" whilst we are working on your assignment. We actively seek flexibility in the way we work to give you the best possible value.

Project Management

Project Management skills within Netpar are inherent within the delivery of all of our services. We follow structured 'industry recognised' standards to ensure that all elements of work are undertaken with the utmost efficiency, creating a seamless transition for the client.

Our Project Managers are totally committed to ensuring budget, timescales and quality issues are fully met or exceeded throughout the lifecycle of a project.

From inception through to completion, the management systems we employ provide an exceptional level of monitoring and tracking to give you the required level of confidence in the end result. Phased sign off from the required technical or business authorities underpins this.

Detailed technical reporting and management milestone reporting provide two parallel views of the project to best serve the intended audience. These systems can be adapted to suit any internal preferences or standards that may apply.

Risks and issues are managed according to criteria that is clearly defined at the outset, and escalated through the appropriate technical or business channels.

Design

Our in depth skills and experience, along with relevant qualifications, enable us to create the complete technical design specification to meet your requirements and match your budget.

Using only "industry" or "de-facto" standards in the composition of a design ensures that the technology aspects of what we do are open and scalable to be built upon to meet future needs.

However, the make-up of any robust IT infrastructure is not dependant on the technology alone. There are many other components to be considered to ensure that the infrastructure is fit for purpose and performs to enhance your business systems.

Our experience of working within a Service Management culture allows us to create the appropriate service definitions to complement the technology. Some of our typical designs are:

• Structured Cabling infrastructures for a major financial institutions head offices, campus and call centres throughout the country.
• Countless office networks and systems migrations comprising anything from small departments on a campus to entire buildings within the City.
• Resilient LAN infrastructures to service the non-stop requirements of a major computer centre and it's disaster recovery site.
• Specification of the technology processes and disciplines to create a standards compliant LAN infrastructure service.
• Systems and network integration projects for a diverse set of business functions and departments, encompassing multiple LAN and WAN technologies, host, midrange and desktop systems plus specialist applications.
• Engaged as the primary source of independent advice on IT issues by companies who wish to augment their existing IT capability or companies that do not posses an IT capability.
