Building a National Telco in Switzerland
A consortium appointed to build, operate
and transfer a national telco in Switzerland for diAX – were confronted with
no public carrier network people in country, a new introduction of switching and
transmission equipment, no experience of building a Network Operations Centre
and an incomplete design.
One of The
Posse’s senior partners quickly built a balanced and enthusiastic team of 40
people, and gained the confidence of the customer (by delivering) and the
consortium partner (by respecting their objectives and skills).
The successful
conclusion came from delivering an excellent design; a fine implementation, a
rigorous validation and a successful operate and transfer just as The Posse
methodology lays out. Enthusiastic
people chosen to fill clearly defined roles in a well-structured team, operating
to a clear methodology will deliver rapid results as they did with diAX.
The fully
operational diAX network was delivered in 4 months at an increased profit, and
established a major strategic relationship in Europe using diAX as a template
for future activity with its parent SouthWestern Bell (SBC)
This same team
successfully regrouped to deliver Carrier 1 in 11 weeks, Jazztel in Spain in 100
days and SPA/Retecal in 3 months.
