Planning Considerations • Objectives • Growth Projections • Technology • Etc. • Network Architecture • ISP/OSP Requirements • OSS Requirements • Capacity and Scalability for Growth Input Output PLANNING Plan for Today and Tomorrow
Planning Challenges YOUR PLAN REALITY Remember to Allow for Obstacles Encountered on the Way!
How to Get from Here to There?Some Key Steps to Take • Determine what you want to achieve with modernization • Select type of technology to be used • Create business plan • Understand investment cost of technology shift • Analyze impact on your network • Develop transition plan • Set realistic timeframes for execution THERE HERE
Integration • Network are generally comprised of multi-vendor equipment • Operational subsystems sit on top : OSS must be part of ecosystem • Management systems need to interlink for efficient operations • Integration is at network and operational levels • Core network changes limit some migration activities • Pre-migration activities may be required to get needed space and power Vendor Compatibility Back Office Systems Interoperability Testing Interoperability Well Defined Integration Approach Saves Time and Money Feature Compatibility
Deployment • Appoint project manager to control overall deployment • Define work-flow process map for delivery models • Understand critical path items • Establish delivery timelines and hardware lead times • Be ready for in-field changes • Define change order procedures, triggers and approval processes • Create work orders, job completion and payments Having a Detailed Plan and Single Point of Contact Leads to Success
