Know what your network is actually doing.
A defined, short engagement that surfaces design debt, availability risk, and exposure across campus, wide-area, and data center networking.
BTA assesses the network as a whole, ranks findings by operational and security impact, and hands back a prioritized roadmap — before any project is committed.
Where networks quietly accumulate risk.
- Risk 01
Design debt nobody documented
Topology and configuration drift over years. No single person holds the full, current picture of how the network is built.
- Risk 02
Availability risk hiding in plain sight
Single points of failure and fragile routing designs stay invisible until the outage that exposes them.
- Risk 03
Exposure between network and security
Segmentation gaps and unmanaged paths fall between the network team and the security team, so neither owns them.
How BTA runs an assessment.
- 01
Discovery
Inventory topology, configuration, and traffic across campus, wide-area, and data center networking.
- 02
Analysis
Evaluate availability design, routing behavior, segmentation, and performance against what the business actually needs.
- 03
Prioritized findings
Rank issues by operational and security impact — not by raw count — so the list is actionable.
- 04
Path forward
Hand back a clear remediation roadmap your team can act on, with BTA available to deliver any part of it.

We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.

BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Questions buyers ask about Network Assessment.
Direct answers from BTA architects who run these engagements.
How long does a network assessment take?
It is a defined, short engagement. Scope is agreed up front and most assessments run in weeks, not months, with a clear deliverable at the end.Do we have to commit to a project afterward?
No. The assessment is a standalone engagement. The output is a prioritized roadmap, and you decide whether BTA, your own team, or another path delivers it.What does the assessment cover?
Campus and core, wide-area, and data center networking: topology, configuration, availability design, routing behavior, segmentation, and performance.How is this different from a penetration test?
A penetration test probes for exploitable vulnerabilities. A network assessment evaluates the network's design, availability, and exposure as a whole. The two are complementary.
