Could Managed Network Services Be Right for You?

There comes a point when every organization must make decisions about its network management. For some that could mean your business (and IT infrastructure) is growing beyond your ability to manage technology effectively. For others it may be that you need to minimize cost and reduce overhead.

For small and midsize businesses: Should we really be managing our network ourselves? For larger enterprises: Which aspects of network management should we outsource?

If your business has a network that meets any of the following criteria, then it is time to consider managed network services :

• Connects multiple offices, stores, or other sites

• Infrastructure is growing beyond the capacity of current staff

• Needs to downsize, reduce overhead and cut operating costs -or– wants to improve operating income through outsourcing IT functions

• Must provide secure connectivity to mobile and remote employees

• Is becoming more difficult to manage and ensure performance and security, especially given limited staff and budget resources

With TGS's Managed Network Services solution, you outsource the day-to-day operation and management of network links and equipment to TGS.

Outsourced network management offers a viable option for most network and communications services, including:

Network connections:

Broadband Internet access links—including T1, business Ethernet, DSL, cable, satellite, and wireless broadband in parallel with SLA’s in place with your carrier(s)

Remote access:

Network security:

Comprehensive management of security elements to mitigate network intrusions, attacks, viruses, spam, and other threats

Internal Network:

Testimonials

TGS has been ranked by our procurement team as one of our top suppliers for over the past 2 1/2 years... Kimberly Jeffries
Resource Manager & Supplier Diversity
Saint Luke’s Health System

I appreciated the organization’s professionalism and willingness to work with us during a very difficult project. As with any large project, things don’t always go as planned. We had a major problem with the manufacturer’s equipment which resulted in several start/ stops at the beginning of the project. TGS adjusted well to the uncertainty and changes in the project schedule.

TGS provided exactly what we needed to make the transition successful. The technicians who worked on-site in the schools were professional, courteous and respectful. The project manager provided leadership and accountability that kept the job on time and on target.
