Network transformation for a global investment firm
Inventory normalization, data-network delivery, and centralized voice supported a global financial firm's communications transformation.
The objective
A global investment firm sought to improve inventory and expense management while redesigning its data and voice networks. The engagement included moving from traditional voice services to SIP and coordinating a data-network transition.
The approach
Work was organized into three phases:
- Gather and normalize existing inventory and contracts, including negotiation of an early-termination-liability buyout.
- Design, procure, and implement the data network.
- Design, deploy, and centralize SIP voice, together with business-continuity planning.
The reported outcome
The published case reports $500,000 in yearly savings for the data-network phase.
It separately reports $1.5 million in total savings for the SIP-voice phase. The source does not specify the period underlying that total. These figures describe different phases and measurement bases and are not added together.
The takeaway
A shared inventory and coordinated transition plan can connect commercial decisions with the practical delivery of network change.
