The ability to solve challenges by focusing on solutions rather than problems is the mark of true expertise. This week presented an interesting scenario where our team had to integrate two different platforms. As a telecom integrator, our goal is not to limit ourselves to a single platform but to offer a variety that enables us to deliver efficient and secure solutions tailored to our customer’s needs.
Our philosophy revolves around understanding that customers may already have substantial investments in specific manufacturing equipment and platforms. The focus is never on immediate replacement but rather on a collaborative approach. If a customer has recently invested in solid technology and simply needs additional components to align with their goals, we work with them. Our role is to engage in conversations, comprehend their objectives, and, in some cases, integrate with existing systems to deliver a comprehensive solution.

TEAMWORK
Take a look at the image here – it captures our team, heads together, working on a solution where the customer has invested in Juniper equipment and now seeks to transition to a Zero Trust environment using the Fortinet platform. The intriguing part is that achieving this transition is 100% possible, showcasing the versatility and agility of our telecom integration capabilities.
The team, as shown in the photo, is actively engaged in our labs, meticulously working on the integration process. The objective is clear – to deliver a Zero Trust solution using Juniper gear at the edge and Fortinet gear in the core, seamlessly blending different platforms to achieve similar, if not superior, results.
FOCUS ON INTEGRATION
In an ideal scenario, one might aim for uniformity across the entire environment. However, the reality is that each customer is at a unique stage in their infrastructure acquisition and delivery process. If a customer has already invested in technology, the last thing they want to hear is that it’s obsolete. While we always advise a replacement if something genuinely doesn’t work, our strength lies in the ability to work with existing, solid technology.
Standards play a crucial role in our approach. Even though manufacturers implement things differently, many aspects are standards-based. If a technology aligns with relevant standards and presents an opportunity for integration, that’s where our expertise shines. The team, amid their collaborative efforts, exemplifies this commitment to excellence.
In conclusion, what we do as a telecom integrator extends beyond merely solving problems – we architect solutions. The integration of diverse platforms to achieve common goals is a testament to our adaptability and proficiency. It’s not about limiting possibilities based on a specific brand or model; it’s about leveraging the strengths of each component to create a holistic, tailored solution for our clients.
This is the essence of our work, and it’s what sets us apart in the ever-evolving landscape of telecom integration.
