RESIDENT CoNSulTANT
Product Overview
Whether your organization competes
in today's highly competitive and
dynamic market or provides high value
public services, there is tremendous
pressure on your IT staff to continuously
adapt and scale your network so that
it realigns and evolves with business
initiatives. To accomplish this, staff
members must maintain their
expertise in a constantly growing list of
technologies and vendor products. The
ability to keep abreast of these rapidly
evolving technologies while attempting
to deploy new network capabilities
and resource-intensive network
adaptation can strain internal resources,
cause costly network downtime, and
impede time-to-value for your network
investment.
The Resident Consultant provides organizations with the flexibility to use Juniper's
expertise when and where it is needed to efficiently fill potential skills gaps, without
having to hire additional resources. Juniper experts will help assess current network
performance and recommend improvements to meet specific operational needs and
maintain your network in the most optimal manner.
