DesignXpert Overview
Whether you are an expert network designer or a novice, DesignXpert will enable you to significantly cut the amount of time you spend entering data and working with tools.
DesignXpert automates every step of the network discovery, design, quoting and proposal process:
Discovery - capture current details of the existing network as a baseline blueprint for your design
Design – drag and drop from an extensive KnowledgeBase of single or multi-vendor products and services
Single Device Configuration – including software, services and accessories. Solution-based configuration using customer requirements and/or product features. Integrated calculators for such needs as power, power over Ethernet (PoE), DSP, among others are included.
Real-Time Validation – against a KnowledgeBase consisting of over 200,000 devices and over two million design rules - ensuring as much as 99% design accuracy
Documentation – richly detailed and accurate customer-facing documents including bills of material, statements of work, multi-level graphical representations
Integration – with back-end systems such as provisioning, ERP, and sales force automation applications
Implementation – a detailed, accurate design sets the stage for a smooth handoff to post-sales teams such as provisioning, implementation and customer support.
