Project Management

FCS has considerable experience managing a wide variety of projects, from simple system upgrades to major multi-national network upgrade and transformation projects.

FCS employs a project management and consultancy methodology along the following model.

• Requirements Analysis
  The intention is to develop a clear cost/benefit or business case to ensure that the expectations of the client are realistic and attainable. This activity is conducted with the client key decision makers with a clear set of deliverables as the outcome of this process. This generally includes a discovery process on site to benchmark the starting position.
  
  
• Design
  This is essentially a network re engineering design activity taking account of the client budget and business case deliverables. The output of this process is a technical specification and implementation plan for the solution with associated timescales.
  
  
• Lab Test
  The design is pre-configured and built in FCS lab or in some case on the customer site and tested against the customer agreed test plan. The key deliverable from this activity is proof of design and verify customer acceptance of the design solution
  
  
• Implementation
  Build of the solution on site and cut over taking account of interim arrangements agreed with the client as part of the requirements analysis activity.
  
  
• Network Test
  Verify the test plan under live network conditions and verify customer acceptance
  
  
• Monitor / Fine Tune
  Implement user-training programs to maximise network business benefits. Monitor network performance over an agreed initial period and fine tune to improve performance and user experience
