Wireless and Connected Networking & Technical Services

Wireless network solutions are gaining popularity because they offer more flexibility than traditional wired networks - providing network access wherever you need it. Maturing industry standards, higher performance, better security, and lower pricing have also made wireless networking alternatives more practical and economical than ever before.

The right wireless solution has the potential to increase revenues and optimize efficiencies in any business vertical. Organizations implementing wireless solutions have seen an increase in efficiency, reduced response times, and the provision of business information to employees, customers and suppliers in real time, has resulted in increased business growth.

A successful Wireless Network strategy includes a good business plan, a well thought out architecture, clearly defined and measurable success criteria and a future thinking organization with the right expertise and experience to assist you with the design, acquisition, implementation, management and maintenance.

Prescient International can assist you and help you achieve a winning strategy. Prescient has had extensive experience with wireless and connected technologies, and over the past decade, we have provided innovative solutions to many business verticals.

NOC (Network Operating Centre)

Network Monitoring & Management is one of Prescient's core competencies.

Prescient’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) is the centre for managed network services. We monitor, manage and report on customer’s networks. We can do this remotely through our central network operations centre and thus can manage networks anywhere in the world from our central operation. Through managing network devices, the NOC can also manage the wide area network in terms of capacity and performance. The NOC’s highly experienced technical service management team constantly monitors your company's network. This team is comprised of a Customer Contact Help Desk, Level 1 Help Desk (Router Management/Data Switch Management), Level 2 Help Desk (Technical Assistance Centre) and Information Technology Design Group. This centre serves as the single point of contact for all troubles and service orders related to network management on a 7x24 basis.

Technical Services

One of today's most significant business imperatives is the architecture required to sustain organizational growth. An organization's internal IT infrastructure is the foundation that will support the business through the evolution of technologies, expansion of networks and integration of systems. Effective integration planning of the System, Network and Technology architectures can protect an organization’s investment and keep the substantial financial risk of "architecture overhaul" at bay. The right strategy, best practices, and synergy of architectures are all key to a sustainable infrastructure. Through strategic planning and implementation, Prescient International provides the optimal technology solution to meet existing and future business requirements.
