What about the implementation team?

Through a vendor, 4 out of 10.

What other advice do I have?

The NMS products should come up with a new approach to resolving issues through centralized monitoring . Currently multi vendor equipment with multi technologies are present in an organization but failing to see the End to End connection of the network should be addressed by the NMS vendors.
