How Our Team Is Different

We understand that you’re busy managing your day-to-day organizational expectations which makes it difficult to step back and critically assess the performance of current processes and technology as well as plan for the digital transformation required in your business model to serve your increasingly demanding customer base.

Our team has the deep telecom and media industry experience that enables your team to stay focused on the critical tasks while we roll up our sleeves and hit the ground running to identify opportunities for transformative change. We’ve seen what works and, frankly, what doesn’t work in your complex industry and we understand the systems, processes, jargon and challenges. Leveraging our proven industry experience gives you the freedom to rise above the daily tasking to rapidly identify opportunities for improvement and immediately move toward transformational financial and operational excellence.

 

Our expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Carriers seeking a transformation path for customer TDM circuits and copper plants;
  • Carriers leasing an access network with rising TDM facility costs supporting mobile, switched, and/or wireline connections;
  • Carriers seeking streamlined and improved financial planning, modeling, and operations;
  • Network planners for new entrant CPaaS and Hyperscalers challenged to find optimal interconnection costs, or by legacy telcos challenged by a loss of switched access and traffic routing expertise; and
  • Leaders in need of a 3rd party perspective to provide context to the enormous disruption of migration to an IP and mobile future where OTT providers rule in the mid and small markets.

Every step served as preparation for what was to come.
