Data Stream Solutions offers a full spectrum of professional consulting services to support clients in the implementation of large, complex or particularly demanding documentation projects. Data Stream Solutions supplies highly trained, experienced professionals either to help you get started, or to carry out an entire documentation project.

Services are tailored to the customer's needs, and provide, for example, cost-effective expertise, help and guidance. The fundamental objective is to save time and money, while maximizing productivity. Other benefits include:

  • more focused project implementation plans;
  • shorter learning curve for in-house staff;
  • substantially faster implementation and smoother roll-out.

Data Stream consulting services can cover virtually any client requirement, and focus on the following areas:

  • analysis of documentation objectives and requirements;
  • development of project devices, data structures, and hierarchies;
  • development of house databases that can integrate existing databases to seamlessly drive documentation and simplify update procedures;
  • project wrap-up and roll-out support.

analysis of documentation objectives and requirements
The Data Stream consultant(s) will review the client's network configuration and operation to assure that documentation requirements meet stated objectives in the context of network diagnostics and management needs, overall systems management, network modeling and analysis, disaster recovery and help desk issues. Consultant(s) will research existing documentation, such as drawings, network information in spreadsheets and databases, as well as data that might be available from any existing client network management platforms. The compilation of these network information sources will enable the netViz consultant(s) to formulate appropriate policies and procedures needed to administer the creation and management of the catalog(s) and files.

documetation development
The Data Stream consultant(s) will design, develop and create the projects, consistent with the client's criteria and objectives. The project's diagram hierarchy will be developed to the extent needed to meet the client's scope.

documentation implementation
After creating the overall project structure and topology, the Data Stream consultant(s) will bring data into the project. Floor plan drawings and custom graphics will be created as needed. The consultant(s) will also conduct hands-on project training for client personnel during this phase, to assure that in-house staff acquire adequate skills and proficiency.

project wrap-up and roll-out support
After the project's diagramming and data integration phase is complete, the Data Stream consultant(s) will help define the policies and procedures for project roll-out, and will help develop strategies for change control. After completion of the contract, netViz consultants can be available for over-the-phone support and guidance, and can even actively participate in on-going project management.
