NIL is an authorized Cisco partner for providing MINT programs for Cisco SDA, Cisco DNA Center, Cisco SD-WAN, Cisco ACI, Cisco HyperFlex, and Cisco Tetration technologies. We have extensive experience delivering different MINT projects to organizations worldwide that result in high customer satisfaction and faster particular technology adoption.

All our MINT programs are fully customizable. This means that the basic scope is predefined, in order to ensure best practices and key objectives are covered. However, the exact delivery is tailored to your specific environment and requirements, ensuring optimal outcome of the service.

1. Discover the customer outcome desires through investigation of the current situation and steps needed to achieve the goal.
2. Deployment and configuration of the solution.
3. Customer enablement and knowledge transfer for continued operation and maintenance of the environment.
4. Functional solution, with accompanying project documentation.

SoW is predefined to an extent, but will be solidified and agreed upon after the initial situation and outcome discovery.

NIL will do the majority of the work, however, in order to ensure high customer satisfaction and achieve the desired goals, a customer is expected to provide the following:

• Stakeholder discovery workshop participation
• Preparation of the environment for the beginning of configuration, which includes, but may not be limited to:
  • Rack space
  • Power capacity
  • Cooling capacity
  • Equipment stacking
  • Infrastructure pre-configuration
• Customer engineers that will participate in all steps of the project for:
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Testing support
  • Support for integration with the existing environment
• Plan of test scenarios to determine operational acceptance of the solution situation and outcome discovery.

Your environment is now set up and running. Your team has the basic knowledge and capability to keep it operational.

But maybe you want additional functionality, are looking into further integration, or are even considering a completely new solution, based on a different technology.

For all of these instances, you can turn to NIL to help you move further along. We offer training on the whole range of Cisco products and solutions. Those trainings span from official courses to highly customized workshops that can be tailored to your very specific needs.

In addition, we offer both additional MINT services, as well as full consultancy engagements that extend well beyond pure Cisco deployments and integrations. And we will be more than happy to help you out with any of these challenges and offer proper guidance.
