Deliver network projects without tying up internal staff
evoila takes ownership of network projects from architecture design to physical on-site installation, with 30 years of project experience, vendor-neutral, and with a direct path into maintenance or managed service.
Planning and delivery from one provider
IT teams across organizations of every size face the same problem: network projects need to happen, but internal staff is unavailable,either in headcount or in the specific vendor expertise required. External service providers often solve this only partially, because they plan or install, but don’t take responsibility for both. evoila owns the complete project lifecycle from requirements analysis through architecture design to physical cabling and commissioning on site. After handover, IT leaders decide whether to operate the network internally or transfer it to evoila as a managed service.
Benefits:
- No internal staff tied up. evoila teams own planning, rollout, and documentation.
- 30 years of network project experience across 500+ completed engagements.
- Project close is not the end. Transition directly into a maintenance contract or managed service, no new tender required.
Network projects rarely fail because of technology
IT departments in mid-size and large organizations typically run their networks with teams sized for operations, but not for projects. When a new site needs connecting, a datacenter fabric needs modernizing, or a campus wireless network needs redesigning, internal teams lack either the capacity, the vendor-specific expertise, or both at once.
The consequences are predictable: projects drag on because internal staff have to context-switch between operations and project work. Architecture mistakes happen when design decisions are made under time pressure without sufficient product knowledge. On-site installations fail through missing coordination between planning, delivery, and the field technician. The result is delays, cost overruns, and networks that are suboptimally configured from day one.
There is a further risk: organizations that bring in a service provider only for installation hand over a system that the internal team does not fully understand. Documentation gaps and absent knowledge transfer create long-term dependencies, or expensive rework at the next change.
What gets lost in the handover is not just time
It is the context that determines whether the network runs as designed or requires expensive correction from day one.
The good news: a network project does not need three separate providers with three separate accountability gaps
It needs one team that owns the outcome from the first workshop to the last patch cable.
Our Solution
From the first workshop to the last patch cable
evoila takes network projects as an end-to-end responsibility not as a partial service. Every engagement starts with a structured requirements analysis: what the network needs to deliver, which sites are in scope, which compliance requirements apply, and which existing infrastructure must be accounted for. On this basis, an architecture design emerges that does not stop at the desk, it gets translated fully into physical reality.
This separates evoila from pure planning consultancies that hand over a concept and leave implementation to someone else. evoila architects accompany the project through to commissioning. On-site installation teams know the design because they helped develop it or were directly briefed. Deviations between plan and building reality are resolved on the spot, not in a follow-on project.
Tech-Deep-Dive
Technical depth at every project layer
Architecture design – vendor-neutral, not vendor-driven
evoila holds active partnerships with Fortinet, Cisco, Arista, and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. In practice this means the architecture team selects the platform based on technical and commercial requirements, not on stock availability or margin preference. Campus networks are designed on Cisco Catalyst or Fortinet FortiSwitch/FortiAP depending on whether centralized cloud management or Security Fabric integration is the priority. Datacenter projects use Arista EOS for highly automated spine-leaf fabrics or ALE OmniSwitch for converged environments. SD-WAN architectures are delivered including connectivity product procurement, fiber, DSL, and LTE from one source.
Physical installation – coordination is the real skill
Configuring a switch correctly is a solvable problem. The actual challenge in network installations is coordination: lead times, building constraints, access permissions, parallel operation of legacy and new infrastructure, alignment with facility management and internal IT teams. evoila project leads manage this coordination using a runbook distillled from over 500 projects. On-site teams receive complete installation documentation before they enter the building, no improvisation, no questions that create delays mid-installation.
WLAN planning & troubleshooting – measurement-based, not guesswork
Wireless coverage problems are among the most common sources of user complaints after a network rollout and the hardest to fix retroactively once access points are mounted and ceilings are closed. evoila plans every WLAN deployment using Ekahau, the industry standard for RF site survey and predictive wireless design. Before a single access point is ordered, Ekahau’s predictive modeling simulates coverage, signal strength, channel utilization, and AP placement against the actual floor plan and building materials. The result is a deployment plan that accounts for physical reality — not an average-case assumption.
Post-installation, evoila uses Ekahau for active site surveys: spectrum analysis, heatmap validation, and interference source identification. When WLAN problems surface in production (roaming failures, coverage gaps, co-channel interference from neighboring networks) evoila engineers locate and resolve the root cause with measured data, not trial-and-error reconfiguration. This methodology reduces the time from fault report to resolution significantly and produces documented evidence of post-remediation performance that IT leaders can use for internal reporting and vendor escalations.
Documentation & knowledge transfer – the basis for independent operations
Every evoila project concludes with complete network documentation: physical topology, logical architecture, configuration backups, IP address plan, VLAN overview, and change history. This documentation is formatted so that internal IT teams can use it without evoila involvement. Optionally, evoila runs a knowledge transfer workshop where internal staff operate the new systems under guidance and work through typical change scenarios. This prevents the dependency that forms when an external provider is the only party that understands the system.

Network projects need one accountable team
Separating planning from installation creates a handover gap that shows up in operations as a documentation problem or an unplanned follow-on engagement. evoila closes that gap, from requirements analysis to the last patch cable, with measurement-based WLAN planning and a direct path into ongoing operations

FAQ
Commonly asked questions about Network Consulting & Installation
A single-site project (campus network or datacenter switching up to 200 ports) typically runs 6–10 weeks from requirements analysis to acceptance. Multi-site rollouts are structured as programs with parallel workstreams; based on experience, 5–10 sites per month can go live once the pilot project has been signed off.
Project costs depend on site count, hardware scope, and installation complexity. evoila produces a full TCO calculation during scoping including the internal opportunity cost of using in-house staff for project work instead of operations. Customers with 5+ sites typically report payback within 18–24 months through reduced operational overhead and avoided outage costs.
Yes. That is the standard case. evoila uses a migration runbook with parallel operation: legacy and new infrastructure run simultaneously, traffic is cut over step by step. Each step has a defined rollback path. No dependency on maintenance windows, provided the physical infrastructure allows it.
After sign-off, IT leaders choose between three models: internal operations with complete documentation and an optional knowledge transfer workshop, a maintenance contract with defined SLAs for break-fix and updates, or full managed service with 24/7 monitoring and proactive change management by evoila. Transitions between models are possible at any time.
NIS2 requires documented security controls for all network components. evoila integrates compliance requirements into the architecture phase: network segmentation, access controls, and logging are planned from the start, not retrofitted. The acceptance documentation includes all evidence relevant to NIS2 audits topology, policy documentation, and configuration backups.
