BASKING RIDGE, N.J.,
Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Verizon Enterprise Solutions today unveiled its Advanced Network
Retainer (ANR) program aimed at helping clients keep up with
expanding network demand driven by digital
transformation.
The new retainer program offers rapid access to a range of
networking experts who can provide assistance tailored to meet
individual client requirements. Verizon experts work with clients
to better understand the client's network, identify and upgrade
obsolete components, run assessments to fine-tune performance, make
recommendations and create a forward-thinking strategy and roadmap
that will help drive competitive advantage.
The team also can provide hands-on implementation activities
backed up by project management.
Client engagements typically begin with Verizon's Business
Outcome Advancement Workshop that's hosted for cross-functional
leaders within a business. The workshop is designed to
clarify and align business and technology vision with a broad
spectrum of stakeholders.
Industry experts estimate that average enterprise bandwidth
demands will grow by nearly 30 percent annually, yet IT budgets
remain nearly constant.
"Our clients are finding that their networks need to move,
change and adapt to ensure their business objectives are met," said
Tony Turni, vice president, IT
Consulting Services for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "In order to
keep up with customer demand and deliver an outstanding customer
experience, enterprises are learning that it always comes back to
the network."
In fact, according to Verizon's report "Digital Transformation
Powers Your Business," 67 percent of organizations say that legacy
network infrastructure is a bottleneck in enterprise IT.
Verizon's ANR is ideal for organizations affected by mergers,
acquisitions, divestitures, down-sizing and the need to expand to a
global infrastructure. It is also well suited for companies whose
business strategies are evolving due to an intensifying competitive
climate; increasing regulatory compliance mandates and
organizational restructuring.
Verizon's team consists of more than 300 professional services
consultants around the globe dedicated to networking design and
architecture services and specializing in SDN/hybrid networking,
WLAN/Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and IPv6 adoption among other key areas. The
team is supported by a dedicated sales, engineering and delivery
organization to provide seamless delivery and high levels of
satisfaction for clients.
