Analysis/Planning defines the scope of the project and provides a business-driven rationale for project execution. As appropriate, the following tools are used: cost-benefit analysis; feasibility studies; requirements analysis and definition; policy review and recommendations; estimating life cycle costs; estimating operations costs, including staffing; and defining the required level of management commitment to ensure success.

Design/Implementation of LAN/WAN solutions include networking components such as hubs, repeaters, concentrators, gateways, bridges, routers, and switches and designing and installing network infrastructure such as token ring, Ethernet (10/100), FDDI, and ATM. Guru Networks's experience spans all seven layers of the OSI model. Guru Networks understands how to implement interfaces that preserve existing investments in legacy systems, including the use of interface engines and gateways.

Operations support provided by Guru Networks includes day-to-day functions such as system backups (on-site, off-site), network trouble-shooting/maintenance, software distribution, and licensing (monitoring).

Security recommendations for implementing network security are based on an analysis of risks. The risks may range from financial resources to national security-type information. Security recommendations are presented with the estimated cost of implementation, the continuing cost of operation, and the effect network security will have on how staffs do business on a day-to-day basis. Guru Networks has a security teaming partner for some types of technology implementation.
