Tech Research Services Introduces White Paper Teaching How To Acquire Wireless Network Products for Enterprise Wireless Communications

Tech Research Services, a wireless/mobile focused consulting firm, has published a free white paper which teaches companies planning to deploy a large-scale wireless LAN network the process of how to acquire wireless network products

Lumberton NJ (PRWEB) June 28, 2004 -- Market research consultancy Tech Research Services introduces a free, non-vendor sponsored white paper on the procurement process behind acquiring wireless network products for use within large-scale networks.

The white paper titled 'Acquiring Wireless Network Products, explains the wireless LAN acquisition process ---a must-read for any IT procurement team," said Sonina Matteo, President and Research Manager of Tech Research Services. We have found that many companies suffer from a lack of understanding of the entire acquisition process of these types of products for a large scale network."

Sonina Matteo, President of Tech Research Services, wrote this white paper based on the market research work her firm does in wireless communications. She has seen that most IT professionals know how to do the site-surveys and evaluate requirements, but does not fully understand the procurement process or has a difficult time organizing themselves to complete the entire acquisition or procurement process successfully. This white paper will help key members of the network group within companies with the process of acquiring network products for wireless communications or in the planning process before deploying a large-scale wireless LAN network.

Cisco Systems, Lucent Technologies, and IEEE members were interviewed and/or reviewed this white paper to aid in its completion. This is an independent, non-vendor sponsored white paper.

Ms. Matteo has completed ROI and COO type research in wireless LAN technologies for U.S. wireless LAN vendors where she interviewed IT managers in manufacturing/warehouse, education, healthcare, production, retail, and financial companies and institutions. This research has been presented worldwide to thousands of managers.

Wireless LAN acquisition for a large-scale network is a different type of procurement process than normal. It begins with completing a needs assessment and requirements document, thus uncovering requirements and risks that cannot be revealed by just listening to a few end-users or by studying one's own competencies. Tech Research Services calls upon IT managers to use the process in this white paper as a guide to make a final vendor choice. This is a winning process. Managers also must learn how to develop the RFP document and evaluate vendor responses appropriately. The acquisition process, as a whole, is the rigorous alignment of all resources in order to deliberately understand and communicate the value proposition coming from each vendors product.

"This process often is the foundation of the work we do for our clients," Ms. Matteo said.
