Context

The continuous growth and competitive pressure in the telecommunications equipment market has led to a sharp acceleration in the number and size of complex deployment projects, such as 4G deployments, 3G infrastructure maintenance programs and small cell network rollouts. These strategic projects involve a multitude of stakeholders and require the orchestration of complex operations at thousands of sites. The extended project team involves project managers & their teams, subcontractors, and administrative offices. To ensure the proper follow-up at all levels, and to encourage stakeholder cooperation and alignment, integrators and vendors must use next-generation project management tools to increase productivity, reduce projects risk and improve margins.
