IT Project Management
End-to-End Network and IT Project Management
Too many IT and network migration projects never get off the ground or take off in the wrong direction when internal teams, sales teams, and implementation teams don’t stay in sync. The experts at Telapprise take an end-to-end project management approach to deliver a seamless implementation experience while helping you sidestep the most common pitfalls on the Technology Lifecycle of Pain.
Our IT Project Management Solutions
IT project management is at the core of much of what Telapprise does. Our expertise positions us to oversee the design, implementation, integration, migration, and management of enterprise network solutions rooted in the reliability of a complete technology lifecycle company. Unlike most brokers and sales teams, we’re here to manage more than the deal.
When you purchase a service through us, we manage every stage of the project, from identification when you’re still trying to figure out what technology you need all the way to project completion and ongoing management. While our technology foresight is best leveraged by getting us involved in an IT project as early as possible, we can also adjust our approach to refocus the goals and drivers of projects already underway.
What Our Experts Actually Do
Project management may sound vague, so you’re probably wondering what it looks like on the ground when you enlist our team to manage your next network migration project. We walk with you every step of the way, whether vendors and service providers have already entered the picture or not. Our experts provide objective oversight, so you can be confident that when we greenlight a project, the technology aligns with your business drivers and makes sense to integrate with your current network architecture. From there, we’re on phone calls weekly—if not daily—ensuring that all project teams are working together toward the same goals.
Trilingual Project Translation
At Telapprise, we pride ourselves on doing something unique in the industry: we’re a trilingual technology partner who speaks the languages of finance, carriers, and systems integration and then translates that into straightforward language that all team members can understand. That’s how we keep project timelines on track while providing realistic project estimates and projections before you decide how to best invest your time, money, and energy as you move forward. Because we manage overlapping project teams, your team doesn’t end up absorbing the burden of coordinating transitional project phases.
Successful IT Project Management Starts With Visibility
You can’t integrate a new network solution without the visibility to understand how it fits within your existing architecture. That’s why a visibility analysis is an ideal place to begin any IT project.
IT Project Management Questions
If you want a network project to go as anticipated, it’s not as simple as knowing what questions to ask at each stage of the project. What’s more important is knowing how to ask them in a way that doesn’t generate the default answer, “Yes,” that vendors love to provide until the contract is signed. Ask providers if you can do something on your network all day long, and if it’s something they offer, the sales team will gladly reply affirmatively. What they won’t tell you is why you shouldn’t do it that way. The experts at Telapprise do.
Along with helping you answer questions about not only if you can accomplish something on your network but also if you should, we also help you find straightforward answers to the questions fundamental to project success like:
- What are the business drivers behind the decision?
- What are the goals (both technical and operational) of the project?
- What are the criteria for the success of the project?
- How do prospective vendors provide the “same” services differently?
With nearly two decades of technology experience, we’ve learned which questions to ask the hard way, so you don’t have to.
