Facing aggressive implementation deadlines, rapid
deployment of new technologies, and fewer
trained technical resources; service providers often
struggle to gain return on network investments.
What they need is a single point of contact to
drive accountability throughout the design,
planning, and execution phases of projects.
Fortunately, ADC has the extensive, multi-vendor
product knowledge to quickly build a fully
functional network that helps provision services,
limit costs, and generate revenues.
By efficiently commissioning and integrating
equipment into the network, ADC encourages
rapid service deployment and delivers greater
network capacity. The upgraded network enables
service providers to add new subscribers and
create other services to sell to existing customers.
With its strong telecommunications leadership
position, ADC is better equipped to deliver a fully
integrated network capable of carrying revenue-
generating traffic.
A Reliable Process
Every network upgrade incorporates tailored
configurations based on specific requirements.
That is why ADC uses a three-phase approach to
identify, define, and deliver network capacity that
meets customer requests. With proven discovery,
planning, and implementation processes firmly in
place, ADC can follow specifications and requirements
throughout the overall deployment effort.
Discovery
ADC strives to understand its customers’ expectations.
By instilling a disciplined discovery process and meeting
regularly with the customer, ADC can accurately
document specific network goals and objectives to
help guide the team during network integration.
