HOW WE HELP

MIGRATION

Advance from homegrown assets to professional DDI.

Reap the benefits of efficient and reliable IP Address Management.

Scale the homegrown IP address management solutions.

Just as no two networks are the same, not all homegrown IP address management solutions are created equal. Some are straightforward spreadsheet-based creations, others are simple flat file databases, while yet others are highly sophisticated scripted inventions containing complex dependencies and considerable business logic.

In the same vein, a range of different motivations exist for enterprises looking to move from homegrown to commercial solutions. Most commonly, the search is on because network teams want to gain flexibility, speed up workflows through automation or reduce configuration errors through robust role-based access management. Network teams may be battling with an uncompliant inherited legacy database, or be thrown in at the deep end with a rapidly expanding network. Whatever the motivation, there is no reason to exacerbate challenging situations by dismissing a homegrown asset.

There was a huge advantage in finding a solution that complemented the systems we already had in place. It wasn’t an option for us to start over or to select a solution that wasn’t intuitive.
