DNS/DHCP & IP Manangement Consulting Case Studies
How We Can Help You
These are just a few examples of customers that have benefited from the use of our consulting services. However the real question is how may these services help your company to achieve its business objectives and this is always at the centre of our consideration. You can rely on n3k giving well founded advice in a realistic and pragmatic manner that really helps you to deliver.
A Supermarket Chain Automated Store Roll Out
A national supermarket chain engaged n3k to write scripts to automate the IP address assignments for the rollout of new stores and petrol outlets. This work has saved hundreds of hours that would have otherwise been required by the existing manual process. In addition the cost of failures due to human error has been eradicated. It is estimated that the return on investment in these consulting services has been ten fold in the first year.
A Major Airline to Move Head Office Over a Weekend
When a major airline was faced with the challenge of moving its head offices over one weekend with minimal disruption to its IT services it turned to us for assistance. In consultation with our specialists a plan was devised to implement DHCP and DNS services to make this sizable migration possible in the timescales available. The move was an outstanding success and the design implemented continues to provide excellent service and maximum flexibility. Our services enabled this business to meet its objectives without loss of revenue due to downtime.
A Network Consolidation Following Acquisitions
One enterprise customer was faced with consolidating its Data Centres and Wide Area Networks following acquisition of a number of other companies. This was particularly challenging since there was conflicting use of address space between the separate networks. Our consultants were able to offer a pragmatic approach to solving these issues that minimised the associated cost of change and also observed industry best practice. We were able to facilitate the core business objectives to consolidate previously autonomous networks and enable massive cost savings as a result.
Hands-On Project Management for a Telecommunications Company
With a huge international rollout to achieve in tight timescales n3k were asked to assist. We were involved from the initial policy discussions and helped to write the corporate IP standards, establish business processes and implement the agreed solution. The ongoing project and operational management of the system during the initial two years was led and managed by n3k staff with a gradual handover of skills to permanent staff. This customer, with our help, was able to rationalise the previous islands of automation and establish corporate standards for management of their IP environment, enhancing security as a direct result and saving incalculable amounts in operational efficiency and avoidance of technical failure.
