Cisco-first · Automation-first

Network Engineering. Automated.

We design, build and operate business-critical Cisco networks — from consulting and design through implementation and migration to security and day-to-day operations. One team, senior expertise, documented handover.

What we usually find

Business-critical networks grow for years. At some point nobody knows for certain what is configured — and every change becomes a risk.

assessment · starting point6 findings
  1. F01

    No reliable inventory

    Spreadsheets, legacy documentation and tribal knowledge contradict each other. A trustworthy source of truth does not exist.

  2. F02

    Manual CLI without approvals

    Changes are made one by one on the command line, without versioning, review or a traceable history.

  3. F03

    Hardware generations expiring

    End-of-life deadlines force large migration waves that internal teams have no capacity for.

  4. F04

    No pre- and post-checks

    The effect of a change only shows in production. A defined rollback rarely exists.

  5. F05

    Inconsistent standards

    VLANs, routing, VPN, firewall rules and wireless differ from site to site.

  6. F06

    Too little senior capacity

    Internal teams and IT providers have the projects, but not enough experienced network engineers.

How we work

Every change travels the same lane

Six stages with defined entry and exit criteria. The separation of build, test and deploy matters most: a successfully generated configuration artifact is not yet an approval for production. You can watch stages 03–05 run live right below.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We capture the current state from devices, controllers and APIs and hold it against the existing documentation.

    Inventory diff

  2. 02

    Design

    Target architecture, data model and migration path are designed and agreed with your team.

    HLD / LLD

  3. 03

    Automate

    The target configuration is generated from structured data and versioned templates, not copy-and-paste.

    Jinja template

  4. 04

    Test

    Cisco pyATS and Genie verify routing, adjacencies, VPN, redundancy and reachability — before and after the change.

  5. 05

    Change

    Execution in the approved window, with dry run, peer review, full logging and a defined rollback.

    Change log

  6. 06

    Document

    The source of truth is updated, acceptance is recorded and operations are handed over.

Automation in operations

Where repetition pays off, we automate

Automation is never an end in itself for us — it is the tool that makes recurring rollouts, checks and standard changes dependable. The example shows a standard change from data record to passed post-check.

Repeatable rollouts

Templates and structured data instead of one-off configuration.

Fewer manual errors

Validation, peer review and controlled execution.

Traceable changes

Git history, logs and acceptance reports for every change.

Less key-person risk

Standardised roles, tests and operating procedures.

Engineering you can trust with production

Senior expertise

Experienced network engineers with enterprise and service-provider backgrounds — no junior rotation.

Documented handover

HLD, LLD, operations manual and acceptance record are part of the service, not a special request.

Security & governance

Least privilege, peer review, separated environments and a defined rollback — in every project, not on request.

Vendor-open by design

Cisco-first in the network, open in the architecture: the automation stays vendor-neutral and belongs to you.

For IT providers

White-label senior engineering

You have the project and the client, but right now not the senior capacity for Cisco, security or automation. We deliver under your brand — with clear roles, client protection and NDA.

Request capacity

Next step

An assessment, not a transformation promise

We start with an inventory: how reliable are your records, standards and change processes — and where does automation pay off first?
