A New York based production company needed assistance with managing the telecommunications deployment for its new LA office installation. The challenge was to deliver all mission critical voice and data services while reducing the project interval by 60 days to meet the firm’s target launch date.
Result: To meet the challenge two teams were assigned to this project. The first team was responsible for all sourcing, RFP, and contract issues related to station equipment, hardware, and carrier services for delivery of voice and data. The second project team was assigned all network design, site logistics, and vendor management activities including cabling, network configuration, business continuity, circuit installation, and carrier management. Working in lockstep, the teams eliminated unnecessary handoffs and used their industry expertise to deliver all items ahead of schedule. This reduced another 15 business days from the project time frame.
