Zensar has been providing network support services to some of the original pioneers in the networking revolution for almost two decades and has experience in assisting customers with navigating complex network upgrades and defining future technology roadmaps. Zensar has successfully executed multiple transformational projects around enhancements and upgrades of customer’s network data and voice environments.

Zensar is committed to continuously improving the City of San Diego’s network and its service delivery and has proposed a Network Managed Services solution that will improve end-user experience through a seamlessly integrated delivery model. Zensar focuses on following the highest standards, which ensures excellent customer service and stable delivery of services. Additionally, it has strategically partnered with City-certified Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) IMG Networks for portions of our service solution.
As part of the engagement, there will be significant, local presence in the community by Zensar. The Zensar team working on this project will be dedicated to the City of San Diego, with the key employees located within blocks of the downtown City campus at WeWork and the rest of the team at Zensar’s Network operating centre in Dallas, Texas, where the City’s current Data Center is also located. Zensar brings the added advantage of operating a major parts depot as part of its business. With the addition of 24/7 monitoring and priority access to its own parts, it will be possible to react to issues quickly and address hardware issues expeditiously which will significantly reduce downtime.
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, Zensar will be supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for youth by investing in programs in the San Diego region. We will also be expanding our support of STEM in San Diego by offering mentorships, participating in career fairs, conducting public speaking engagements and investing further in educational opportunities.
