Center Offers Access to Wealth of Resources

An IP NGN network is not only more efficient to manage, maintain, and secure than disparate networks; it also enables a host of new user services, IP telephony, conferencing, video, WiFi networking, remote working solutions, and new level of integration in network management, and business applications. However, migrating to a converged IP network that also drives application convergence, service convergence, and network convergence is a significant challenge. To help service providers with this transformation, Cisco has created the IP NGN Expertise Center. With unparalleled IP knowledge, and access to a repository of leading practices, tools, and industry-certified methodology and staff, the IP NGN Expertise Center can deliver the results that our service provider customers expect from Cisco.

Deploying a successful IP NGN solution requires coordinated integration of previously separate network infrastructures, separate design and planning criteria, and separate operational processes in order to achieve desired business results. The foundation for the center is a network and program lifecycle model, based on the six phases of preparing, planning, design, implementation, operation, and optimization. The result is a unique portfolio of complementary service components, enabling seamless integration, high availability, and nonstop scalability to keep pace with changes in geographical coverage and with business and customer demands.

The quality of a service provider network directly affects business profitability, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction. The migration to an IP NGN is a significant challenge and an unprecedented opportunity to transform our customer's business. By engaging the IP NGN Expertise Center, a service provider can help ensure the network, operational staff, and customers are not only ready for an IP NGN solution, but are able to fully benefit from the application, features, and functions that an IP NGN has to offer.
