Network Infrastructure Procurement

At Optrics Engineering, we understand that building a high-performance, secure, and scalable network isn’t just a technical necessity—it’s a business imperative. With decades of experience helping Canadian organizations across industries, we know that network infrastructure procurement can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive—unless you have the right partner.

Here’s how we help you make smarter purchasing decisions that support your goals and protect your bottom line.

What Is Network Infrastructure Procurement?

Network infrastructure procurement is more than just buying hardware. It’s a strategic process that includes selecting, purchasing, and implementing the right combination of networking hardware, software, and services—everything from firewalls, switches, and wireless access points to cabling, cloud-based networking, and management tools.

At Optrics, we guide you through every step of the process to ensure your investment delivers performance, security, and future-ready scalability.

Why Partner with Optrics Engineering?

We’re not just a reseller—we’re your strategic advisor. Here’s how working with Optrics transforms your procurement process:

  • Optimized Performance: We ensure your infrastructure supports your operations today and scales for tomorrow.

  • Built-in Security: Every solution we recommend considers cybersecurity from the ground up.

  • Custom Fit: We tailor procurement to your unique business needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.

  • Cost Control: Our team helps you avoid hidden costs and overbuying with transparent, strategic planning.

 

Step 1: Assess Your Current Network

Before making recommendations, we perform a deep-dive audit of your existing network environment. We look at hardware age, performance issues, wireless coverage, remote work support, and more.

We ask:

  • Are your devices nearing end-of-life?

  • Is your current setup supporting your business goals?

  • Are you prepared for growth and evolving security threats?

This assessment becomes the foundation of a smarter procurement strategy.

Step 2: Define Requirements That Align with Business Goals

We help you map out technical needs tied directly to your business operations:

  • How big is your environment now—and what will it look like in 3 to 5 years?

  • What compliance or security standards do you need to meet?

  • Are you planning hybrid work, cloud migration, or data center upgrades?

  • How much redundancy and uptime does your business require?

By defining clear requirements, we ensure you’re buying solutions that support your business—not just ticking technical boxes.

 

Step 3: Build a Smart, Phased Procurement Plan

We work with your IT and leadership teams to design a phased procurement plan that outlines:

  • Scope of your infrastructure upgrades

  • Budget (including contingency planning)

  • Timelines for rollout

  • Decision-makers and stakeholders

  • Procurement policies and approval processes

We can help you spread upgrades over multiple phases—for example, deploying next-gen firewalls now, then refreshing wireless next quarter—to manage costs and minimize disruption.

 

Step 4: Source the Right Products, from the Right Vendors

As a certified partner with industry-leading vendors like ManageEngine, Cisco, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, HPE Aruba, and more, Optrics gives you access to:

  • Enterprise-grade networking hardware and software

  • Cloud-managed solutions like Meraki and Aruba Central

  • Flexible licensing and support models

  • Transparent pricing and competitive quotes

We also offer demos, proof-of-concept installations, and product comparisons so you can make informed decisions. Our team filters out the noise and helps you focus on what delivers value.

 

Step 5: Full Lifecycle Support After the Purchase

Procurement doesn’t stop at the point of sale. We assist with:

  • Installation and deployment (in-house or with partners)

  • System integration and configuration

  • Staff training and documentation

  • Ongoing support, firmware updates, and managed services

We even handle warranty tracking and vendor escalations on your behalf—so you can focus on running your business.

 

Common Pitfalls We Help You Avoid

Working with Optrics means you won’t:

  • Waste budget on overbuilt or underperforming gear

  • Be surprised by recurring licensing costs

  • Struggle with complex implementations

  • Ignore security until it’s too late

  • Settle for consumer-grade gear in a business environment

We’ve seen it all, and we’ll make sure you don’t repeat others’ mistakes.

 

What’s New in Network Infrastructure Procurement for 2025?

We stay on top of trends so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s shaping the landscape:

  • Cloud-managed networking: Remote visibility, centralized control, easy scaling

  • Wi-Fi 6E/7 rollouts: Speed, reliability, and reduced congestion

  • Zero Trust security: Identity-first network access

  • AI-powered monitoring: Predict and resolve issues automatically

  • Energy-efficient designs: Greener infrastructure with lower TCO

We bring these innovations to you with clear guidance on when—and if—they’re right for your business.
