Our Approach to Consulting

Envision Engagement Methodologies

Envision Technology Group delivers services consistently, reliably, economically, and efficiently across engagements because of its structured approach to network and systems consulting. The structure, discipline, and consistency of the Envision methodologies drive a pattern of excellence.  We assist our clients so that their time is spent not worrying.

Below are specific methodologies that drive the success for each and every client that engages Envision.

Network Lifecycle Methodology

The Network Lifecycle Methodology (NLM) is the foundation of our commitment to provide quality solutions to our clients. It provides the consultants with a framework for applying their technology expertise during the various stages of the network lifecycle so as to maximize client benefits.

Envision’s Network Lifecycle Methodology (NLM) provides a framework for solving complex networking problems. In conjunction with the Envision Engagement Methodology (EEM), NLM enhances the productivity and effectiveness of our consultants, whether they are working on a routine router configuration or wrestling with a complex integration problem. However, NLM's ultimate goal is to deliver reliable solutions to clients, on time and within budget, in every engagement.

The NLM Lifecycle

NLM can be applied at any stage in a project, based on client needs. It consists of four phases that, as a group, support the client's ongoing network operations: Planning, Design, Implementation and Operation.

Each lifecycle function is comprised of a process description, procedure, and supporting collateral, including tool references, templates, sample deliverables, and best practice references. Used together with the Envision Engagement Methodology, NLM achieves a balance between standardization and flexibility; it is consistent, yet responsive to varied service delivery needs.

NLM Benefits

NLM helps to standardize the execution of client projects, by guiding Envision engineers and clients step by step through a well-managed project. The methodology encourages network and system consultants to focus on client needs from functional, technological, and business perspectives. NLM supports efficient project timelines, effective use of staff, efficient engagement execution, and improved revenue value realization.

Envision Engagement Methodology

The Envision Engagement Methodology (EEM) is an overarching methodology that contains NLM. Other EEM components include a project management module as well as a wealth of materials related to our technology practices, including Network Security, Enterprise Management, Performance Management, and Business Consulting.

As a mainstay of Envision consultants, the web-enabled Envision Engagement Methodology (EEM) captures processes, tools, templates, and methodologies that have worked best in the thousands of network planning, design, implementation, operation, and optimization engagements carried out by Envision. EEM increases the likelihood of success in any engagement, accelerates project completion rates, and significantly reduces project costs. The tool is continually updated with materials created by our engineers tackling new frontiers in networking technologies and applications.
