BTP Helps HRF's IT Team Migrate their Communications Network
Premier IT consulting firm, Business Technology Partners (BTP), has teamed with the
New York and Washington, D.C.-based non profit, international human rights
organization firm, Human Rights First (HRF) to integrate, design and migrate HRF's
technology network.
BTP helped HRF's IT team to migrate their communications network from outsourced,
hosted solutions to a new and improved technology infrastructure The human rights
organization firm is now managing the new cost effective infrastructure internally.
Lisa Besa, COO of Human Rights First, explained that BTP was chosen for their
experience with network and email management projects and their flexibility in pricing
models customized for non-profit organizations.
By working with BTP, the HRF IT team was able to actively participate in all phases of
the project that made them well-equipped to manage the network post-migration. BTP
provided both network engineering expertise and additional capacity for critical phases of
the project such as migration weekends, informed Besa.
Nicholas Lucenko, senior engineer at BTP noted that both the local and wide area
networks were redesigned utilizing best practice methodologies such as multi-homing,
dynamic routing protocols and diversified backup paths for production traffic. This
redesigning assured the highest levels of availability for critical voice and data traffic.
Synchronizing their efforts with the HRF IT staff, BTP was able to successfully validate
and test out the multiple failover scenarios for their business continuity plan with
successful results.
