FAQs
Verizon uses a standardized, repeatable methodology to deliver globally consistent network assessments and diagnostics, which includes four steps:
Requirements Gathering: Conduct an exploratory workshop with key stakeholders and collect existing network documentation.
- Visualization Development: Use low-touch automation (Network Inventory is 95% automated) to collect data, analyze output, and produce network visualizations.
- Network Assessment: Subject Matter Experts use Verizon’s best practices toolkit to assess specific areas against business goals, covering areas like EOS/EOL, standardization, and redundancy.
- Present Findings: Deliver a written report detailing key findings, network risks, and recommendations, along with a knowledge transfer workshop.
AI and ML are viewed as critical for network transformation. They are actively incorporated into strategic offerings focused on four pillars: AI Advisory, AI Infrastructure, AI-powered Data Integration, and Specific-need AI model tuning. Capabilities are leveraged for key network use cases such as anomaly/fault detection, predictive analytics, traffic analysis, capacity modeling, and development/knowledge management (Generative and Cognitive AI).
Verizon offers multiple services to achieve consistent visibility, including:
Network Visualization and Assessment: Provides a graphical representation and interactive diagram of network entities, connections, and predictive analytics.
- Network Operations Assessment: Offers an in-depth operational and performance review, traffic analysis, and detailed capacity analysis.
- Network Maturity Assessment: Comprehensively evaluates the existing network's design against business requirements (agility, availability, scalability, visibility).
Verizon Business leverages strategic consulting, proprietary, and integrated tools:
Automation: IT Operations Automation Assessment services guide customers in harnessing automation for configuration management, workflow orchestration, and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Verizon uses DevOps and APIs for automation/orchestration.
Visualization Tools: The company uses its own Intellectual Property (IP) with third-party customized tools for network discovery, data collection, and visualization, producing interactive diagrams and predictive analytics.
AI/ML Integration: AI/ML is leveraged for data analysis in network assessment, design, and operations, including correlation and visualization of complex infrastructure to pinpoint the root cause of issues and optimize resources via Network Performance Analytics.
Verizon addresses financial concerns by aligning network transformation with quantifiable business outcomes. Methods for financial justification include:
Strategy & Roadmap Engagements: Helping customers form a detailed business case to secure funding.
Optimization Services: Offering services to streamline customer traffic, reduce physical footprint, and find opportunities to increase network ROI.
Tools: Utilizing ROI tools and cost-benefit analysis tools (Verizon’s own or customized vendor software) to translate technical value into financial terms.
