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 THERE 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 HERE Develop transition plan Set realistic timeframes for execution

Integration n Network are generally comprised of multivendor equipment Vendor Compatibility n Operational subsystems sit on top : OSS must be part of ecosystem n Management systems need to interlink for efficient operations n Integration is at network and operational levels Back Office Systems Interoperability n Core network changes limit some migration activities n Pre-migration activities may be required to get needed space and power Well Defined Integration Approach Saves Time and Money Feature Compatibility Interoperability Testing

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
