Marc will lead the NOC Lifecycle Practice business unit, which provides NOC Design services to companies that manage their own internal NOCs. The practice also provides NOC Support services to clients that need outsourced support, including 24x7 primary NOC support, backup and off-hours support globally.

INOC's approach to high-quality support is based on proper alignment and integration between various functions of NOC support operations. With an understanding of the customer's internal and external support requirements, support expectations, SLAs, security, business continuity, and other requirements, the NOC Design team provides a blueprint for hiring, training and managing people, a standardized framework such as ITIL for implementing and managing processes and procedures, and the tools and integrations required to run the NOC effectively and efficiently. 

INOC has identified a growing need for these specialized services from clients across several verticals and determined that Marc LaForest is the right person to accelerate these initiatives. "A high-energy leader, Marc leverages over 25 years of extensive experience with a great track record in maaging global networks and infrastructure at a number of large telecommunications organizations worldwide. Marc's deep experience will allow INOC to deliver cutting edge solutions to our customers, improving overall efficiency in maintaining telecommunications infrastructure and allowing them to focus on their core business operations," says Prasad Ravi, CEO of INOC.



Before joining the INOC team, Marc served as Apcela's Vice President of Global Network Operations, where he grew and managed their technology systems. Prior to this, as CPDO-PMO Project Manager at AT&T Mobility, Marc led and directed project teams in the six largest markets in the Northeast, collaborating with team leaders to ensure the optimization and efficiency of processes and procedures. In a number of other previous positions, Marc has consistently demonstrated his technological expertise and leadership ability.

"I am extremely excited to join INOC and eager to contribute to the success of our customers--minimizing the complexity of managing infrastructure while improving the margins of their core business," comments Marc LaForest.
