First, the financial consultant sets up the financial reporting structure of the corporation and monitors its operation to insure comprehensive “quality data”. In the network world, iLAN uses NextPoint S3 as it’s primary data collector. NextPoint S3 is “Tolley Group” certified and represents the highest quality data available.

Second, the financial consultants provide appropriate company management reports that allow management to understand the current financial health of the company. In the network world an iLAN consultant evaluates the wealth of quality data that NextPoint collects and creates a monthly report for management. To support the evaluation the consultant can choose among the many, easily understandable, NextPoint S3 reports to communicate that the consultant's evaluation is based on data, not fiction.

Third, the financial consultant makes recommendations to management concerning financial strategies that will help the corporation reach its business goals. In the network world, an iLAN consultant models and simulates the corporation’s network as it would appear in the future with additional employees and/or applications. The consultant uses NextPoint data as well as data from other monitoring tools to create a network simulation based on “quality data”.

iLAN considers this rental approach far superior to the typical “30 day evaluation” used in most software sales. To properly evaluate a network-monitoring tool, its usefulness must be established after the corporation’s technicians are trained and knowledgeable in the product. This will take much longer than 30 days. Accordingly, using iLAN’s NOC service prior to purchasing NextPoint S3 will allow your technicians to learn from experts in network monitoring and troubleshooting. iLAN technicians will freely do “technology transfer” to in-house technicians during the NOC service period. This allows your technicians to learn from true network consultants. And data accumulated will be transferred to an in-house installation following purchase.
