    Enterprise Network Design for the Cloud Revolution

    Joining TNC’s podcast host, CEO John Waterhouse, to share his expertise is TNC’s CTO, Craig Northveth. In this episode John and Craig discuss what key steps organisations need to take to ensure their network is effectively and optimally designed to enable their cloud application strategy. It pays to remember that proactively designing your network ready for cloud enablement is more cost effective than doing it reactively.  Tactically fixing a network that is not fit for purpose results in you having less choice and therefore more cost. Whereas, if your network transformation is strategic and planned there are opportunities to take cost out of legacy networks, whilst improving the flexibility, the agility and ensuring you have direct cloud access with the right level of security.  The key questions answered in this session include: What are the main challenges facing network architects today? What are the consequences of the network not being optimally designed? And why can’t I just iterate the network “as I go”, during my cloud application deployment? What does good look like in terms of a cloud enabled network? What are the key steps organisations should be taking to maximise cost, performance and best practice?If you would like to find out more about how TNC can help you, and your organisation, we would be delighted to talk to you and share our experience and knowledge.

    Mobile Procurement – There’s a Storm Coming…

    Joining TNC’s CEO, John Waterhouse, to share his expertise is TNC’s Head of Consulting, and lead mobile expert, Adrian Joyce. This topic is incredibly interesting and very timely - from Brexit and its impact on EU roaming, to 5G use cases, post-COVID changes, and lots in between. Over the years mobile procurement has assumed almost a utility feel as prices were reduced, Tech Funds lessened, mobile devices were retained for longer periods and coverage issues declined (with improved coverage and Wi-Fi calling). Frankly, not much changed from one procurement cycle to the next. However, there is a perfect storm forming that will change all the above and may mean your next mobile procurement will be the hardest and most important in a decade. Adrian explains the following in detail: Why there is a storm coming in mobile procurement – what the contributing factors areThe impact of EU roaming post Brexit The impact on inflation on mobile dealsWhether 5G is a ‘must have’  If you would like to find out more about how TNC can help you, and your organisation, we would be delighted to talk to you and share our experience and knowledge.
