For Chief Officer (CEO/CIO)

In brief: the IP addresses range that your company is going to get will provide your company with:

Better management of addressing resources

It becomes absolutely easy to manage the addressing space of the company's departments (including remote branches) independent of the addresses given by your IS providers, which will help to avoid problems arising when changing the provider or reorganizing the company's network.

Improved business security

Of course, own IP addresses are not a full solution to the problem. However, they help to improve your company's network security. You will be able to assign your remote employees with IP addresses from your own network which will make security audit easier because the remote employee will work within the company's network instead of working 'somewhere in Internet'.

Paralleling and minimization of network downtime

Loss of time caused by ISP problems often yields losses incomparable to attachment costs. You've most probably encountered things like 'checkout procedure', 'maintenance works', 'connection failure' etc. Your own IP addresses range and your own AS allow simultaneous connection to a few independent IS providers, while the well-tried solutions on BGP protocol basis allow automatic switching of channels within a few seconds and without network manager's intervention.

Consistency

It helps to improve accessibility and access security to the information inside your company, like corporate e-mail system, remote desktops, file services. BGP offers you information resources management quality comparable to that offered by an provider only if the mentioned provider were located in your office.
