Systems and methods for using network architecture planning tools
First Claim
1. A method of planning a network architecture, comprising:
- receiving at a host computer system a request from a user computer to initiate a network architecture planning process;
in response to the request, transmitting an electronic file comprising a first display screen to the user computer, wherein the first display screen comprises a question relating to a parameter of the network architecture;
receiving at the host computer system a first response to the question;
transmitting at least a second electronic file comprising a second display screen to the user computer, wherein the second display screen comprises context-sensitive content based on at least one previous response;
receiving at the host computer system at least a second response to the at least a second display screen;
determining at least a first action based on the first response and the at least a second response; and
transmitting information relating to the at least a first action for display at the user computer.
