A Proven Process Built on 40+ Years of Experience
Each phase is scoped to your sites, your applications, and your team. We do not start with a product. We start with your environment, then work toward the technology that fits best for your environment.
Our Process
Four phases. One cycle. The technology is chosen for your environment, not the other way around.
- EDUCATE & EVALUATE: We do not start with a product. We start with your environment.
- DESIGN & DEPLOY: Vendor-agnostic. Evidence-based. Built for how you and your team actually run.
- ONBOARD & OPTIMIZE: Adoption is the measure of a good deployment, not simply go-live.
- MONITOR & MAINTAIN: We work to find issues before you do, every day.
Step 01
Educate & Evaluate
The process begins with understanding. Matrix leads with education because better-fit solutions come from clear insight, not quick quotes. During this phase, we take the time to learn your environment, your challenges, and the outcomes that your team expects. This includes deep technical discovery and network assessments.
Together, we define the problems to solve, the risks to reduce, and the business case behind every decision. Our architects speak the same language as your IT and executive teams because they have lived those roles. Their goal: clarity on what needs to be protected, what performance should look like, and where the dollars are actually being spent.
Step 02
Design & Deploy
Once the goals and risks are clear, the work shifts to designing the right solution for your environment. Matrix builds every design around your operational realities, your risk tolerance, and the performance your teams rely on.
Our experienced Deliveries and Operations Teams have completed hundreds of successful projects across complex, multi-site environments. They plan for what others overlook. Fully developed project workbooks, structured change management, rollback paths that keep downtime measured in minutes, and clear signoff points ensure alignment at every stage.
No shortcuts. No surprises. The deployment goes live the way it was designed.
Step 03
Onboard & Optimize
A successful deployment is only the beginning. Real value comes from adoption, training, and ongoing optimization. During onboarding, Matrix works directly with your teams to ensure they understand the tools, features, and workflows that support their daily responsibilities. We simplify the handoff by providing clear documentation, role-specific training, and guided support that helps users build confidence quickly. In essence, we become an extension of your IT team.
Once your teams are using it, we fine-tune configurations based on real-world usage. Performance adjustments, policy refinement, and feature enablement all help you get more from your investment.
Most projects ship and then drift. We keep tuning so the system works better in month six than it did at go-live.
Step 04
Monitor & Maintain
Once your environment is live, Matrix works alongside your team to keep it healthy. 24/7/365 support runs from a proactive network operations center that operates as an extension of your IT team. We catch issues before they reach your users.
If a critical alert goes unanswered, escalation paths fire automatically. Leadership knows before you do.
Our goal is always to find and fix problems before you feel the impact. After we resolve an issue, we inform your team with clear updates and recommended next steps.
