We’ve developed a free network assessment tool that will help you understand where your network is at – and what you can do to improve it. ![Network Assessment Tool](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Network%20Assessment%20Tool/Network%20Assessment%20Tool-still.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=Network%20Assessment%20Tool-still.jpg) There are a lot of moving parts to any network, so we've broken our network assessment tool down into the important technologies. Our report will then provide your readiness rating and help you focus on the technologies that need the most work. If you wanted to dive straight in, you can access the tool here: - [Click to access the Network Assessment Tool](https://score.iptel.com.au/network-assessment) Related reading - [Meraki Cloud Wi-Fi](https://blog.iptel.com.au/meraki-cloud-wifi) - [Cisco Meraki Wireless Overview](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-meraki-wireless-overview) - [Meraki Switching](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-meraki-switching) --- ## Why take the Network Assessment? Keeping up with the latest trends in wired and wireless networking is no easy feat. There's a lot to think about and a limit to the time - and budget - you can spend on your network. Our network assessment tool aims to provide you a baseline overview of your current network environment, allowing you to determine where to spend your time and effort on network upgrades. When you’re working on your network every day it can be hard to see where it can improve – our tool will run you through the key areas of networking: - WAN Routing - SD-WAN - Switching - Wireless - AAA - Intent Based Networking - Zero Trust Complete the assessment and gain a better understanding of your network and build the baseline of where your network is - and where your biggest gaps are: - It takes just 15 minutes - It's completely FREE! - You'll receive your customised results instantly If you're ready to start, access the tool here: [Click to access the Network Assessment Tool](https://score.iptel.com.au/network-assessment) Related reading - [Cisco Meraki Access Points](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-meraki-access-points) - [Cisco Meraki Switching](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-meraki-switching) - [Cisco Meraki Dashboard](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-meraki-dashboard) --- ## How does the Network Readiness Tool work? When you log in to the tool, you'll see the following sections presented: ![Picture3](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Network%20Assessment%20Tool/Picture3.png?width=602&height=464&name=Picture3.png) These are the key areas the tool focussed on and you'll then be presented with a set of Q&A questions about your current state. Once you’ve answered the questionnaire in our tool, the fun begins – we’ll send you your free report, which includes a range of details about the status of your network. Each of the significant areas above is graded, so you can very quickly see how you have scored in each: ![Picture4](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Network%20Assessment%20Tool/Picture4.png?width=381&height=300&name=Picture4.png) As you can see from the small snip above, you'll get an overview of the status of each of the key networking areas covered by the assessment. From this, you can determine where you need to spend your time, money and effort – three things in short supply for most network administrators!
