WHY USE STI'S NETWORK SERVICES?

The business case for why a company should retain STI's Network Services is compelling.

In today's competitive, global economy, a government and business can ill-afford to spend needless time and/or money trying to become expert in a field of endeavor that is not part of its core mission. It is much more effective to hire a professional, i.e., someone who is both skilled and experienced in the particular subject matter than to squander valuable company resources trying to develop an in-house expert. Moreover, even when in-house staff possesses the requisite network skill and experience, in general, that staff is burdened with other duties that prevent staff from being able to focus on project-oriented tasks. Most often, when staff focuses on projects, it negatively impacts staff's attentiveness to operational issues.

This is particularly true in the areas of local and wide-area network support. More often than not, using a company's scarce, telecommunication staff has caused many projects to be delivered late, for windows of opportunity to be missed, for service objectives not to be met, and it has allowed critical network failures to occur, unnoticed, while staff's attention is diverted from operational issues. Of course, there are direct costs, and, perhaps even much more difficult to determine, indirect costs associated with such a workplace condition. But, we believe STI can help.

With its cadre of talented, highly trained, and experienced network professionals, STI is capable of handling any size network project. Whether it's a large or small project, we are prepared to step in and provide temporary relief from staff shortages or provide much needed subject-matter expert.

The economic advantages of augmenting in-house talent with STI's talented professionals are considerable. In fact, out-sourcing network projects or network operations to STI can allow a company to focus on its core business, while STI worries about the availability of adequate network staff and meeting a company's network performance goals.
