“We deployed our infrastructure to 4 times as many sites per month with the exact same team.”

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 LTE 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 hundreds or even thousands of sites. The extended project team involves principals, subcontractors, internal teams 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.
