Methodology for Specifying And Implementing a Management Solution

This paper proposes a methodology for specifying and implementing a management solution on corporate networks. The proposed methodology is based on a set of steps which may be associated to one or more activities and which are divided in four different phases. The first phase determines the management requirements that need to be solved. The second phase specifies the management policy to be adopted, and which determines the relationship between the products and the personnel involved in the management process. The third phase cares for the selection of the management products, of interest. Finally, the fourth phase implements the solution resulting from the management policy and selected products. Based on the proposed methodology, it is possible to implement an effective resources management for corporate networks. The methodical determination of requirements for management permits that the corporation may visualize its current and future needs. The adoption of a policy, as presented, guarantees the quality of management. The wise selection of management products is a significant contribution toward a good compromise solution for matching predefined management requirements.
