At ITC, we believe effective network management is an ongoing process, not a product. It requires continuous maintenance and expertise spanning across a vast array of network functions.

Whether managed internally or outsourced, it is vitally important to ensure that your network is effectively and expertly monitored and maintained 24/7. If your network is managed internally, you need to ask the following questions:

• Are your security measures up to the highest standard, continuously maintained, tested and upgraded?
• Is your company fully compliant? Are you monitoring and meeting all regulatory changes and new compliance mandates?
• Is Bandwidth being cost-effectively utilized? Are business critical applications receiving adequate levels to enhance performance and foster network efficiency?
• What measures are being taken to ensure business continuity and network availability?
• What internal systems are in place to warn of potential threats and incidents? What processes have been established to prevent incidents from escalating?

If any of the above can not be sufficiently answered, your network may be a ticking time bomb.

The health, integrity and performance of your network has a direct impact on the success of your business. Therefore, establishing and maintaining secure, highly performing communications should be a business imperative.

ITC has over a decade of experience in successfully designing, implementing and managing networks to ensure secure, compliance-based, high performance 24/7 access to business critical data and applications. Our team of experts are responsible for monitoring and optimizing networks around the world; enabling the secure exchange of highly sensitive business information and billions of dollars of transactions- from Fortune 500 to FTSE 100 companies.

How Does ITC Maintain Secure, Performance Driven Network Operations?
The center piece of ITC’s successful network management platform is Orama. Orama provides continuous application monitoring and real time analysis. This allows our consultants to pinpoint potential network problems and security issues, identify trends, reduce troubleshooting time, and maintain the required levels of application performance and responsiveness. Poorly performing applications are properly benchmarked and appropriately tuned for optimum bandwidth utilization- enabling you to control costs and maximise performance.

Core business critical information is continuously fed back to our customers, in real time, via a single web portal, and monitored by ITC experts 24/7. This functionality allows us to take corrective, preventative action to mitigate risk and increase the efficiency of your network. Orama also serves as an automated early warning system, monitoring and analysis solution. Utilising our proven security management process (protected by a patent 0505511.6) Orama significantly reduces the number of false positive alerts which greatly improves risk management.
