Rethinking TEM / Executing a Network Strategy
The planning and design stages of your network strategy can be one of the most interesting information technology challenges that you encounter. But what about the actual implementation phase? Do you have a systems approach to enable efficient execution?
Up until now, the problem has been that telecommunications responsibilities are usually parceled out between departments-purchasing, operations, IT, etc. It's the old story of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Have you considered
- how you will implement the policies and preferred vendor solutions dictated by the new network strategy?
- how you will monitor, measure and report against the ROI promised by your network transition plan?
- how you will project manage the various service events required to add move or change network components to enable the new network design?
- if you can easily compare competitive vendor quotes to what you're paying now?
- how you will verify new service invoices against contract terms? To manage disputes with the many carriers that supply voice, data and wireless services?
- whether you can instantly analyze telecom bills at the level of individual lines and services before authorizing payment?
- whether costs are being properly allocated? Are you placing costs for each service in the correct business unit and cost center?
