When Goodman Networks incorporated in February of 2000 we were an EFI&T service provider for a single client. At that time the client was utilizing almost dozens of providers for their EFI&T services.   Early on, Goodman project success and quality quickly made us 1 of 3 service providers and ultimately the majority provider for their EFI&T services in Core Network Deployment (CND).   Over the years our relationship has developed to the point where we currently do over 90% of their EFI&T work in Core Network Deployment.

A relationship and growth like this comes from understanding the customer, their equipment and technologies as well as the technologies and equipment upstream and downstream from where their network element integrates.   Being vendor neutral allows Goodman to have the expertise on staff and within easy access through our OEM relationships to create the solutions required by today's multi- vendor converging networks.

Goodman CND expertise includes expertise on network elements from Adtran, Alcatel, Cisco, Fujitsu, Lucent, NEC, Nortel, Spirent, Tellabs and others as well as telecom standards such as GR1275 and TP76300.   Goodman CND contains the essential expertise that mesh up in parallel with the larger picture of today's converging networks.
