ENTERPRISE BILLING AND SERVICES MANAGEMENT
Enterprises today face increasing challenges in how to effectively regulate end users' usage of information technology (IT) resources. Professional Services, High Technology, Financial Services and Healthcare organizations all share one thing in common: an extremely high ratio of connected users in their environment, who in many instances, have completely unmetered access to corporate IT resources. CIO's in these organizations are under constant pressure to secure access, while delivering accountability for costs by division, department and end user. Additionally, they must find innovative ways to drive return on IT investments, while meeting or exceeding end user Service Level Agreements (SLA's).
The EngageIP Broadband Suite from LogiSense delivers the capability to control and meter access to the corporate network, by application, device and user, all managed from a central web interface console. The result is an automated system which drives the most out of the existing investment in IT through the following ongoing cycles:
DEFINE
The logical first step is to align end user IT resource usage with corporate policy. EngageIP allows administrators to set specific usage rules by end user, department or group and integrates with common user directories including LDAP and Active Directory. These rules are easily modifiable as policies change and include IP billing/cost allocation for bandwidth quality of service controls, applications, devices and resources.
MEASURE
Once defined, usage patterns are reported on in EngageIP with graphical tools in the web-based interface. This allows central administrators to view ad-hoc, in a summary or detail form, who is using particular resources and provides the information necessary to effectively charge back internally.
ANALYZE
The data gathered with the EngageIP Broadband Suite can be exported to 3rd party analysis tools or utilized in a basic form to assist in redefining corporate policy or charge back rates, based on usage patterns.
IMPROVE
With EngageIP Cache Server appliance in place, users frequently requested data is moved closer to the edge of the network, removing load from central servers, driving down bandwidth requirements and improving performance.
CONTROL
The key benefit of EngageIP Broadband Suite is the automated control it gives administrators over the allocation and use of information technology (IT) resources. This is increasingly important as the number of applications and services in a typical network expands, and their use spans the entire "virtual" organization, including customers, partners and suppliers.
