Consulting

We provide a full range of services on fixed networks. We can form the initial business plan, issue tenders and conduct surveys. We can also help supervise the rollout of fibre networks and assess the quality of installation. In the past our consultants have helped to assess fixed networks, plot performance improvement plans and implement the improvements. We also look at fixed mobile convergence and the evolution towards NGN and support of 5G infrastructure. In particular we can look at the evolution of the core infrastructure, evolution to SDN and NFV and building implementable plans to realise these changes

Building a PMO for a major programme can be a headache when you are focused on the results. We excel at creating and delivering projects. We tend to use well known methods from PMI and experienced consultants. Critically we help in the early stages to understand the structure of the PMO, the deliverables, governance and payment milestones

● Vendor supervision
● Major project planning
● PMO
● Resourcing
● Governance

Our consultants have extensive experience of both physical inspections, standards compliance such as ISO27k and cyber security. We typically work with clients to establish a set of tasks such as ISO27k audits or building policies. We can also perform extensive pentest type services.

Regulators have new challenges. The industry is experiencing rapid change. Two key themes are emerging: how society will fund the next wave of development, especially around 5G and how to take digital to the underserved. That's not all we have been working on. eGovernment and digital engagement is becoming a key theme for our clients. We help to understand these topics and form programmes to help regulators develop policy.
