I pretty much deployed it myself. I try to keep it simple, I don't make things complex. It makes it easier for me to manage it. A couple of times in the past we've had some outside help. A lot of that just had to do with the installation of something because it comes down to timing. Being a very small department, I don't always have the time to be able to put this stuff together. So sometimes it's just helpful to get someone outside to help us out.

We handled the setup all in-house. We do have their tech support. At one point, we did get tech on the phone and were working with them. It basically came down to firmware. The one they shipped us could not downgrade its firmware to the firmware we were running on. There was no good way to make it upload the config from an older firmware. They wanted the same firmware restorations. That was kind of a pain, however, we just ended up manually going through and resetting everything, which was not too terrible.

We have a team of people certified in Cisco and Huawei, and we directly engage with Cisco. We eliminate other vendors, which has two benefits. One benefit is the knowledge from Cisco, and the second benefit is that it eliminates the cost of the support. When any vendor comes to your site and offers services, they charge 10% to 20% of the SLA cost.

Cisco gave us a contract team, and we directly engaged with Cisco for installation and integration. We have support at levels one, two, and three. At level four, when there is a hardware failure, we go to Cisco and open an RMA. Cisco then sends us a new product that we install personally. We don't need any vendor support.

Their maintenance is done quarterly. The hardware support team uninstalls our APs on off days, cleans them up, loads the required things, and then reinstalls them. If they find any defect in the physical box, they just open an RMA. Cisco then gives us a new product, and we install the product.

There are two people who work on the controller and access points. Customer enrollment is handled by the desktop support team, which is a 30 people team. Out of them, 10 to 15 people take care of user access. The core team has only two network guys.

The other part is the hardware support team, and for the whole bank, there are 30 to 40 people for any kind of hardware support. Any person is available to replace the AP. It is just a few-minute job. They just plug out the cable, do the installation. When APs come on the network, they directly go to the controller, and the controller updates their software and pushes the configuration. It is an easy task.

My company did not just see the help of consultants but also engineers from Cisco to help us with the product's installation process and for all the tips for the deployment and the integration with the wireless controller.

The product's deployment phase was done with the help of my company's in-house personnel.

I contract a partner to help with implementation. If I have a big project, I contract the design. 

As the first step, we contract the design. For the design, sometimes Cisco gives us the special engineers. However, in other cases, we contract the design. That design comes with a WiFi heat design. They have visual material.

The other step is to contract the solution with a partner. We send to the market an RFP, a request in order to have the best price in the market and the best partner in the market. The other step is to implement or to develop the project.

Yes, we implemented that through with vendor team. Their level of expertise is very good.

Our in-house team deployed the solution. 

For deployment and maintenance we had three technicians and we also had support from our consulting company. We actually changed consulting companies twice, and we used them mainly for making updates and changing the setups.

With the most recent consulting company, we unfortunately lost contact with them and didn't have the documentation to finish the job that they had started.

We set up the whole network, including the privileged network, wireless network, and security with firewalling.

The first time we implemented the solution, we did request vendor support.

The deployment process depends on the use case. To deploy the product, we can configure the physical wireless controller and add all APs one by one. The deployment is time-consuming. We have certified engineers to deploy the product. Two to five engineers are needed to deploy the solution. We do not face any issues in maintaining the product.

I outsource some of the implementations and the planning stage can be the largest issue.

I do most of the maintenance of the solution, such as patching.

We are system integrators and we do have our own team who design and implement wireless solution..

We've used both consultants and resellers when it comes to setting up the solution.

If our clients need assistance, we can help them set it up.

It took me approximately three months to deploy the solution, but this involved going to different parts of Ecuador to fully implement it. The deployment took two engineers to put the AP physically into place.

We implemented with a Cisco partner. They were experts. They did all they were supposed to do and it was active within the time as planned.

We did the implementation of the solution ourselves. 

We have approximately 10 engineers and managers that do the implementation and maintenance.

The implementation and maintenance are done by our five-person technical team.

We did not have any problem with the implementation of the solution it is straightforward. It took approximately one week. We do implementation ourselves but sometimes we use an integrator. We have approximately three engineers doing the maintenance of the solution.

We were able to complete the installation ourselves.

We are the wireless solution integrator, so we deploy the projects. We undertake the integration as well as convert the existing access points to conserve energy.

We implemented it in-house.

I can handle the initial setup myself using the GUI for the controller. 

I install this solution for my customers. 

Implementation was done in-house.

We have a partner that helps us with the solution's deployment and maintenance. In general,  we have three technicians that help with the solution but if we run into more complex situations we contact Oracle.

We used Jimma University as a consultant and had a good experience with them.

The installation team was highly skilled and certified.

As integrators, we can install the solution for our clients. 

I am a consultant. 

We implemented it in-house.

While we did have some access to information to help us, we mostly handled the implementation process on our own.

One engineer can install the solution. We have two engineers for the support of the solution.

We have four engineers and one administrator that can do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We installed and deployed this solution ourselves.

We are an integrator. We handle the implementation for our clients.

The deployment time for these solutions is approximately two weeks.

We have less than five people to assist with deployment of these solutions.

Working as a solutions architect for an IT service provider I did the scoping and implementation for the client.

Both implementations were performed by a supplier team with support from an in-house team for integration into the local network. I would rate the expertise of the supplier team a solid 8/10.

We are an integrator, and we implemented it ourselves.

We had help from a Cisco reseller. 

We have two people that are required at a minimum to do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

I am an consultant and I implement for our clients.

We used an outsource partner.

It is done in-house.

A vendor(Xiamen WisDom Net), They have 3 CCIE engineers in routing and switches but not in Wi-Fi, They quickly improvee their Wi-Fi skills and even I improved a lot.

We handled the installion on our own. 

I implemented myself. 

I implement it myself. I work for a Cisco partner.

I implemented myself for multiple companies.

We don't need any consultants or implementors as we have sufficient in-house expertise. We can handle it ourselves.

I completed the installation myself.

We have a team of three to maintain this product.

It was a mixed schema; the case study and the initial implementation was made by a vendor, then, the tune up was made by us.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment and maintenance. The number of people required to deploy depends on the size of the installation.

The deployment can take one day if the network is small but if it is a larger network it could take a while longer. When we have issues with security the process becomes more complex, taking more time.
