5. Planning Challenges YOUR PLAN REALITY
Remember to Allow for Obstacles Encountered on the Way!

6. 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

7. Interoperability Testing Feature Compatibility
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
Interoperability
Back Office Systems
Interoperability Testing
Feature Compatibility
Well Defined Integration Approach Saves Time and Money

8. 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
