fundamental network design / service providers and integrators
Fundamental Network Design for Service Providers and Integrators is a course that has been created by QEXEQ to meet the broad and demanding skills required of today’s networking and telecommunications architects. Since today’s IT design professional is part of a team, this course explains the architecture and design from each of the lifecycle, process, technical and selling perspectives. It includes methodological and technical instruction, presented in a pair of QEXEQ reference guides:
Architecture Methodology Reference Guide (AMRG)
Architecture Technology Reference Guide (ATRG)
This course is recommended for service provider staff involved in
- architecting
- designing or
- technical selling of
This is a 5 day course
