Number one, it means using real network engineers \u2013 and sending the same engineer to every site, not just finding the cheapest local resource. When you use a world-class network engineer you still get beautiful cabling, but you also get real-time on-site troubleshooting anytime it\u2019s needed. Still, it\u2019s not enough to just use smarter hands. We need to go beyond. That requires spending as much time as you can dedicated to pre-planning and pre-staging to ensure every detail is as right as possible before anyone or anything ever gets on site. Of course, rigid or inflexible planning can be almost as bad as no plan at all. The solution is a focus on internal and external communication throughout planning and execution \u2013 updating the approach as lessons are learned. When you combine real network engineers with careful planning and diligent communication, you get an agile and adaptable approach that goes beyond smart hands to provide consistent deployments every time. And it should all come at a flat global rate&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.aptient.com\/marketing\/assets\/foundations\/jan-2021\/infrastructure-brochure.pdf\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Keep Reading<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4261,"featured_media":3860,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[981],"portfolio_skills":[1147],"portfolio_tags":[1148,1150,1151,1149],"class_list":["post-3859","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-content-creation","portfolio_skills-solution-brief","portfolio_tags-aptient","portfolio_tags-content-creation","portfolio_tags-smart-hands","portfolio_tags-solution-brief"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
