Procurement for Transition to IP and MPLS Services
Moving from frame relay/ATM networks to network services based on Multi-Protocol Label Switching presents unique challenges. The reason is rooted in the complexity of the pricing schemes used in MPLS network services, as the leading carriers simply do not price their MPLS services in a fully consistent way. The way that they charge for priority classes of service on MPLS can be either fairly explicit or baked into a series of pricing choices on ports and circuit subscriptions, or even hidden within pre-packaged bundles of port types that enable unique percentages of CoS traffic.
Leveraging the experience of numerous MPLS procurements, TC2 has developed a unique method designed to accurately solicit and compare MPLS bids across a range of carrier pricing and service delivery methodologies, both domestically and globally. Much depends on a focused description of your enterprise's unique network characteristics and applications requirements. Our approach dramatically reduces the time involved and the frustration experienced by many enterprises when soliciting MPLS bids. We move you systematically through the steps required for a successful, cost-saving MPLS procurement.
