What does the Managed Routers Second Edition include?
The Managed Routers Second Edition provides a 60-plus file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (scoring matrices, dashboards, roadmaps) and 20-30 PDF guides (playbooks, runbooks, reference cards), organised into Platinum Tier centrepieces, Getting Started, Self-Assessment, Requirements, Models, Processes, Performance, Governance, Sustainment, Advanced Topics and Quick Reference sections, plus a README and onboarding note.
Are you worried that your organisation’s managed routers are delivering hidden costs, security gaps and compliance headaches because you lack a repeatable assessment framework? Without a systematic way to benchmark router maturity, you risk failed audits, costly network outages, and missed optimisation opportunities that your competitors will exploit. The Managed Routers Second Edition self-assessment playbook puts a proven, industry-aligned methodology in your hands, so you can close gaps, prove value and avoid the financial and reputational damage of an un-managed network.
