Helps you avoid network-related issues
with critical business processes
In today’s dynamic environment, businesses rely on communication
networks as a key element of success. While applications or devices
may be the focus of a new IT initiative, your network is the vehicle by
which your customers and employees are able to take advantage of new
functions. Your network also enables collection of real-time data from
applications—and increasingly, from sensors—that you depend on to
make decisions about your business. Now, more than ever, your net-
work must be high performance, continuously available and secure in
order to achieve your business objectives.
Network integration services from IBM can help you create a network
that enables your IT infrastructure to adapt to rapidly changing 
business needs and emerging technologies. These services—planning,
design, deployment and ongoing monitoring and management—help
you provide the ubiquitous access to applications and data necessary to
meet today’s business requirements. We use a vendor-neutral, consulta-
tive approach to help you navigate the available options and deliver a
network that contributes optimally to meeting your business goals.
Enhancing your network’s ability to support fast
changing business models
You can use our services to prepare your network to respond more
quickly and effectively to business opportunities and challenges.
Business models that are designed to address new ways people work,
buy and live depend on networks. An increasingly mobile and distrib-
uted set of users, the emergence of cloud computing and increase in
sensor-based data collection for real-time analytics will place new and
different demands on your network. As you look to optimize business
performance, our skilled and experienced services professionals can
help strengthen and accelerate your plans with a blend of expertise in
networking and IT and business and industry perspectives.
