Consultancy
Fast Lane Consultancy
Through Fast Lane’s extensive experience of providing understanding and knowledge through training, we have created a range of services to
leverage the inherent teaching and development skills of Instructors and Consultants to create an on-site portfolio providing development, project skills and support.
This range of services is available for any of the key technology environments focussing around advanced services.
Data Networking Support
One of the most difficult areas of networking is managing Quality of Service and Capacity Planning. By assessing your environment using our Technology Analysis and Environment Analysis specialists we can help you plan upgrades and assist you to integrate more advanced services.
Data Networking also involves ensuring your WAN or MAN is ready for new applications. Through effective planning around your data services we will help you understand the extensive challenges of an application aware network, including helping you manage the integration of these services over the life of the project.
IP Communications
Convergence is a concept that the market defines as the merging of data, voice and video services. However with IP Telephony it can be much more than that. It is difficult to make sense of this new and vast technology area and also, more importantly, whether your business would benefit from it!

Our experience and involvement in over 80 IP Telephony environments worldwide has taught us that the key factor in any converged environment is not simply about how it can replace your current systems. It’s about the specific business benefits and improvements that the technology would bring to you and your users.
At Fast Lane we’ve developed concepts to provide a complete range of services, from Knowledge Transfer through Project Support and Implementation Services, even providing team resources at your disposal for intensive projects or installations.
Cisco Security Support
Security considerations can be viewed in two defining ways. Those threats that enter your network from an external source and those threats that are generated either maliciously or accidentally from an internal source.
Through the latest Firewall, DMZ and Security planning techniques we use our experience of Penetrative Testing and training in security to advise you on the most effective security strategies. This in turn will allow you to work with us while upgrading and developing your network to protect you from virtually every form of security attack.
Cisco Wireless
Wireless Design and Integration is a very specific requirement. The communication challenges associated with Wireless technology vary greatly between sites. Through our experience of maintenance, support and wireless optimisation (including boundary access management and wireless upgrades from 802.11b to 802.11g) we are able to help you plan your network upgrades and your security requirements.

BRDC
As the focus of the networking industry changes from internal building infrastructure to delivering services across your local network, key knowledge areas are required to allow you to manage these network applications and application environments.
Through development of technical courses and services we have the ability to help you understand the challenges involved in Content and Storage networks. By guiding you through the design and implementation of an applications network we can ensure you make the best use of the possibilities created by Storage or Content based services. Most importantly we will ensure that your existing infrastructure is best prepared to support application and content networking.
Pre and Post Implementation Support
Business Analysis
Before integrating a new technology it is important to consider not just its current features and services but also how the product will provide expansion for your business over time.

When undertaking business analysis we use our intrinsic knowledge, in conjunction with our unique indepth product awareness and on-site integration experience, to help you completely understand how to best integrate new technology into your business.
Through our Business Analysis service we help you gain knowledge on how to best integrate new systems to ensure maximum benefit from your investment.
Technology or Environment Analysis
Without a complete understanding of the features and services of a new technology, opportunities to advance the way we work can be missed. Only by identifying a product’s benefits and its shortfalls can we be truly aware of how a particular technology can help increase our working efficiency.
Through our comprehensive understanding of historical technology and leading edge products and services, we use a wealth of experience from many on-site installations to illustrate how to migrate to a given technology within your existing business environment.
Project Services
Our Services and Consultancy team have extensive experience integrating technology and industry leading standards into both new and migrating environments. Our experience of on-site and off-site consultancy and support in all the major technology areas ensures that we help you avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that companies can make during integration.
By helping you manage the teams involved and the overall project plan, Project Services can ensure you make best use of your own and your partner or integrator resources.
Short-Fall Engineering Support
By providing individuals from a specific technology background we can support you with the knowledge and skills needed to help you meet the often stringent timescales imposed within a project. Our Short-Fall Engineers and Consultants have extensive experience of providing virtual resource to help throughout any given project, be that for 2 days or 2 years.
Red-Alert Consultancy
During any IT infrastructure project often high-level technical or political difficulties can affect how effectively an organisation delivers its product or networking solution. If these issues are left unmanaged it can often be disastrous for key milestones or delivery dates within a project. If the schedule for delivery keeps slipping the associated costs of delivery obviously increase greatly.
Through our partnerships we have access to a vast range of information associated with product development and we use our skills and relationships to develop solutions to cover political and technological issues. A Red-Alert Consultant can act as the proxy between an integrating partner and the customer. This ensures a smooth transition of technology into any given environment. The end-client gains a detailed understanding of the products or services during integration and the integrator gains a more detailed understanding of the client business practices.
