Interviews were conducted with various network technology suppliers to assess their capabilities. The team ultimately selected Cisco as its partner not only because Cisco was a well established and internationally known telecommunication products manufacturing company, but also because it was very cooperative and willing to collaborate in efforts to evaluate the capabilities of router, switch and other network technology required for Net II implementation. The ABC’s team and its implementation partner Cisco together went over the network analysis and design. Following a top down network design approach, they started with analyzing company’s goal and customer’s needs and conducted logical/physical network design, testing, optimizing, and documentation. This collaboration helped determine specific features, functions, and networking hardware early on to optimize the network. This enabled ABC to successfully implement enhanced network features shown below unavailable to the company’s competitors, in addition to rendering a large amount of cost savings.
