STEPCG… Managed
A better network experience that clients deserve, with the relief that IT staff can gain by offering the tools & services they finally deserve, need, & want.
Turning Information into Knowledge, & Knowledge into Wisdom.
It seems, we are all tackling similar networking problems. We are all just trying to get to the same Internet.
1
Why is the WiFi Slow?
So many possible reasons, but let’s get the RF right, then we can look at configuration, capacity & security.
2
Why is the Network So “Heavy”?
Network Administration continues to grow more complex, yet at the same time so much depends on it in today’s world.
3
Why am I the only organization with these issues?
You are not alone. Many IT staffs are not setup for success through no fault of their own.
4
What is Craftsmanship?
The quality of design and work shown in something made by hand.
5
Doesn’t Newer, Faster APs & Switches Solve it?
Lifecycle management & best practice configurations based on good designs, implemented properly goes a long way.
6
What is “Wireless Experience”?
You know it… You can likely recall when it was poor, but rarely recall when it is good, because we expect it to be a utility like water & power.
7
Is My Network Protected?
It can be difficult to keep up with the threat landscape & comparison to others.
8
What & Who is on My Network?
Visibility can be the first, value, easy step towards better security posture.
9
I Thought It Was Supposed To Be Getting Easier?
Isn’t that truth. Manufacturers attempt to fix with better clouds & wizards. We complement that with exerpeienced engineers…. People.
