Why do you need a Network Assessment?

Networks are constantly changing for various reasons: organic company growth, spin-offs, new offices, technology innovations, changing business needs, etc.

• Can your network maintain its performance & stability through all these changes?
• Do you have documentation for all your computer and software inventories?
• Do you know how efficient your network is performing?
• Do you know if you are utilizing all the bandwidth you purchased?
• Do you know if your critical applications are prioritized on your network?
• Would you like to know where the "hot spots" or "looming problems" are?
• Do you feel the increasing need to open your network to partners, customers, and remote users?
• Are you aware of your security vulnerabilities?

Feynman Group can help provide answers to these questions and give you peace of mind in a complicated and often frustrating environment. Feynman Group Network Assessments are broken down into three components.
