The Problem • Too many standards (international/defacto) • The mysterious web of existing networks • Unprecedented growth of PCs & LANs • The need for system integration
The Solution • A 3-pronged planning process • Strategic process for a long-term (3-5 years) • Tactical planning process for designing an optimum enterprise network every year • Operational planning process to handle daily management and data gathering tasks Such a solution requires a new corporate thinking & organizationalstructure
Strategic Planning Process • Constantly evaluate the evolving regulatory issues/tariffs for impact on enterprise network • Constantly evaluate new technologies and standards in terms of impact on enterprise network architecture (LAN/WAN integration, shared transmission/switching facilities, seam-less network management & DDP/EDI/EC) • Develop migration paths with the help of tactical planning personnel
Tactical Planning Process • Model the existing environments related to CPEs, application/services &QoS requirements • Model the new environments for desired QoS • Develop lifecycle traffic growth models • Select the correct technologies/tariffs • Develop integrated network architectures • Develop lifecycle cutover models • Select the most cost effective solution
Operational Planning Process • Plan/provide call logging, directory, billing, inventory & alarms/ management/reporting svcs. • Schedule network performance measurement tasks and plan appropriate network changes • Schedule network diagnostic/maintenance tasks • Schedule trouble-ticket handling tasks • Manage/lead/train human resources • Constantly improve network management/healing technologies
