Branch and Multi-Site Connectivity
One documented branch standard, down to the port, so site forty looks like site one and most faults are diagnosed from head office instead of driven to.
Every engineer SECCOM sends to a branch is a cost you budgeted for. Every hour that branch is down is one you did not.
Across forty sites the problems are rarely technical. A different carrier in each city, and in a tier-3 town only one carrier worth having. A comms cabinet somebody has been storing stationery in. Nobody on site who can tell a link fault from a power cut.
A standard branch build fixes that. Same design, same equipment, same labelling at site forty as at site one. Any engineer can work on any branch, and most faults get diagnosed from head office instead of needing a site visit.
