Step 5 - Testing

In our blog series, there has been a lot of emphasis on attention to detail and setting up a project that is steeped in “tried and true” project management fundamentals. We are now at the point where we have worked with the customer to ensure that we captured their requirements to the best of our ability. We’ve designed and developed a solution with the customer’s approval. Finally, we’ve had our implementation team provision and deliver that design to specifications. Now comes the final piece – testing – to ensure that what we provisioned and delivered functions to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Healthcare Struggles To Protect Health Data 

5,579,438 patient records were breached in 2017, according to new data released on 23 of January 2018 in the Protenus Breach Barometer Report. Insider threats can remain undiscoverable for long periods of time. The Report states that "on average, it took 308 days for an organization to discover it had suffered a breach in 2017."

Step 4 - Provisioning & Delivery

Up to this point in our blog series, we have primarily been talking about the initial steps for getting a project off to a successful start from an administrative and design perspective. With this segment, we cover assembling the items needed to build and deploy a UCaaS Project to the customer’s specifications.   

Step 3 - The Solution Design

In our blog series, we pretty much have the prerequisites out of the way, and it is time to start executing for the customer.  When it comes to a design, that means taking the project requirements as defined by the customer, performing data collection (using templates) and creating a design document with the results of that data collection.

Step 2 - The Kick-off Call

In the first topic of the series, I talked about the critical role that project management plays in the success (and sometimes failure) of a project. In this edition, I am going to talk about the Kick-off Call and what it takes to get a UCaaS project off to a good start, thus setting the tone for the rest of the project. I know some of this is fairly basic, however, teams effectively execute when the basics are done well.

Operational need + Control (FW, AV Compliance) + Visibility

Today’s world doesn’t raise a question of the Cyber Security necessity. Being reckless about your data protection either on a personal or business level is not an option anymore. Luckily, there’s plenty of offerings on the market for any budget and any level of protection.

Step 1 - Project Management

This 9-part blog series explores 9 different phases of the UCaaS project, ranging from best practices for the kick-off call through the provisioning and delivery phases of a project and to the point where you will take the project live and ultimately transition to support.
