A large number of partners walk into customers with us, expecting to discuss telecommunications. They walk out, with their customers asking for appointments to expand the discussions to include not only telecommunications, but also security audits, storage capabilities, infrastructure deployment and other interrelated areas. The ability of Solarcom Partner Services to expand the breadth of offerings from a partner is second to none.

We have capabilities for our partners that are not matched.  We work hand in hand with our partners to configure and deliver these services to their customers. These core capabilities are divided into the following focused Practices:

• Internetworking Practice
• Enterprise Systems Practice
• Storage Practice

Additional information about each practice can be found by clicking on the links above.

Internetworking

We can offer a comprehensive analysis of a customers' network architecture and operating costs. Working with our partners, our network engineering professionals evaluate potential technology and services options and identify gaps and inefficiencies in voice and data networks. The end result of these analyses are network solutions and services that fit the requirements of the partner's customer from both operational and financial perspectives.

Connectivity - whether voice, data, or Internet - is mission critical to success in business today. For most enterprises, network operational  costs comprise a substantial, if not the largest, segment of the IT budget.  We specialize in helping organizations reduce monthly network expenditures by implementing cost effective Internetworking solutions customized to meet specific needs and perform with optimal availability, speed, reliability and security.

Enterprise Systems

Computing solutions feature literally countless product offerings and often require significant investments in time and expense to evaluate capabilities.  While most product vendors suggest their products are completely capable, the reality is no single brand can meet diverse customer requirements from a functional or financial perspective.

By working with us, our partners can offer their customers a variety of potential enterprise solutions from IBM, HP, Sun, Compaq and others. We can deliver a solution based on multiple platforms, from multiple vendors.  In turn, this efficient provisioning of the appropriate solution, provides a measurable return on investment.

Given the complexities of selecting enterprise computing solutions, we save partners and their customers both time and money in selecting a "best fit' solution.  Whether a customer needs a new system, or a technology refresh, the vendor relationships we have built over the past 26 years provides insight into all of the computer system options available.   Combining our experience with the partners knowledge and insight, allows the partner to offer their customer a best of breed solution.

Our partner is able to present the solution to their customer in an objective and straightforward manner.  We make so many capabilities available to our partner, they are freed to focus on customer needs, not individual vendor sales requirements.

Front end application architecture, storage solutions, database integration, or cross platform infrastructure - high end to mid range - are all evaluated by the SPS teams on behalf of the partner and their customer. The end result is the presentation to the customer of a customized proposal for a system that works together seamlessly and reliably.

We specialize in knowing how to architect solutions around UNIX services and across platforms including NT, but we are more than technologists.  Working with our partners, we are a team of business people who find IT and communications solutions that strengthen the bottom line.

Storage Technology

As more and more information must be captured electronically, we are dedicated to helping data intensive business environments conquer the challenge of expanding storage. Our storage and professional services experts will simplify complex decisions and help our partners customers implement storage solutions that will ensure rapid and high ROI.

The ability to process more, store more, and transmit more, is accelerating faster than at any other time in history. To help customers develop a storage vision that will grow with their company, we look not only at technologies, but also:

• The role of storage for your end users
• Monitoring and managing storage utilization
• Capacity planning and storage acquisition
• Implementation processes and procedures

We rank manageability as one of the key decision factor in buying storage. Adding storage without manageability only increases the total cost of ownership (TCO). One of the primary goals of storage manageability is to drive administrative costs down.  An effective storage strategy will include a storage management framework that spans multiple vendors. We have the partnerships and alliances that are essential to building efficient storage solutions and give businesses greater storage control, manageability and affordability.
