Before you decide on a tailored network management system you should organise a measurement of current performance in the company, otherwise known as a baseline. This allows companies to actively measure the impact that their network management system has on their office and obviously by doing this it is then possible to rate the system and identify where improvements can be made. When initially creating your baseline you should think about documenting the following areas: availability of network, application performance, user reported issues and network congestion.
You should also make a note or brainstorm the goals and expectations that you have for the network management system before you decide on a particular model. This means that you will have a clearer sense of what your business needs, which should enable you to be a bit more realistic in what you want the network to achieve.
In terms of the expectations you have, it is important to remember what network systems cannot do for businesses. If you don't already know how to configure devices onto a network, then unfortunately the system will not be able to protect and monitor it's performance or do it on your behalf. In these circumstances it is best to talk to a telecommunications agency who know exactly what they are doing.
It doesn't matter how personalised and high-tech your network management system if you're running undependable service providers or faulty devices, it simply won't improve the services and quality of this technology. You should also remember that a network management system cannot deploy applications to your end users - if you need to do this then there is a variety of software that you can use.
It's important that you stay on top of your network management system once you've invested all your time and money into it. If you don't stay on top of it and constantly improve its service you may have to deal with disgruntled employees and customers on top of a failed network.
