The Case for Network
Availability
“Today’s Environment”
Isaac Grodzinski

Background
Establish the case that a new level of network intelligence
is needed to ensure that network resources more
strategically support call center goals.
© 2005 NEC Unified Solutions, Inc.
Foundation
Organizations are more complex, far-reaching and diverse
than ever
The business strategies that direct those organizations
are more complex, far-reaching and diverse than ever
The networks that support those organizations are more
complex, far-reaching and diverse than ever
Organizations are more reliant on their networks than
ever and that reliance continues to increase
Despite quantum technology advances, today’s converged
networks are ALL based on the notion that every packet on
your network is equally important to your business
© 2005 NEC Unified Solutions, Inc.
Increased Business Complexity
Mergers & acquisitions
New business units
Reorganizations/restructuring
Cross-functional teams, new processes
New product lines, cost centers, profit centers
Management changes
New strategies, new goals
Global expansion
New channels, new partners
© 2005 NEC Unified Solutions, Inc.
The Network Environment
-
© 2005 NEC Unified Solutions, Inc.
Network traffic volume is doubling each year
Many organizations are totally reliant on their
networks
Network access is largely unregulated
Traffic is handled on a first-in-first-out basis
Buy more bandwidth, or risk impacting business
productivity?
Increased Network Complexity

The High Cost of Poor Performance
-
Poor network performance =
poor productivity = poor
business results
-
Degraded network performance
costs a typical business
millions/year*
-
Application slowdowns can
amount to $100/second**

Allocate dedicated WAN bandwidth
to VoIP traffic

month-end
-
Block P2P traffic
-
Block worms, viruses and DoS
attacks
© 2005 NEC Unified Solutions, Inc.
Call Center Traffic Management
Improve VoIP call quality (call-by-call and/or in aggregate)
Prioritize call center applications relative to other corporate
applications or users
- By application
- By user (or user group based on range of IP addresses)
Improve customer satisfaction & call center productivity w/the highest
possible network and application response time
Use NetAccountant to store (long-term) and track call center productivity
& trends by user or by application

Before Network Intelligence…
VoIP and CRM
get squeezed by
lower priority
traffic

center priorities
are enforced
