Network Architecture Strategy

Strategies for Flexible Network Architectures

Due to their complexity and short life cycles, the design and implementation of architectures for telecommunications networks and the related IT platforms requires consistent and logical top-down processes. When designing network and platform architectures and the accompanying business processes, the rigorous and future-oriented implementation of corporate strategy is just as important as the coordination of all components if long-term competitive advantage is to be achieved.

Successful companies are able to adapt their strategies quickly to respond to changing circumstances, they implement consistent architectures and integrate these into their business processes. But this can only be achieved using intelligent management methods, which organize an overall ICT architecture which is aligned measurably with strategic goals. This is the only way to secure provision of a flexible and modern portfolio of products, services, and technologies. The challenge here is that this can frequently only be accomplished when internal and external organizational barriers are overcome simultaneously.

Forward Thinking - Detecon has unique practical experience and methodological competence in this field, especially with respect to the current transition from networks based on traditional Time Division Multiplex (TDM) to IP-based systems (Next Generation Networks). This paradigm shift in networks makes massive changes in the target architectures possible, but it also makes them necessary. This is why Detecon provides support in both the conception and the planning and implementation of the relevant migration strategies. In each case, we determine the individual client’s status quo and work with them to define their final objectives; only then can the optimal way forward be found. We thus ensure that the result is a strictly business-oriented system landscape, even in complex multi-vendor environments.

Detecon supports its clients from the business strategy through to the tool-supported detailed planning of migrations and new networks (“Greenfield approach”) for both mobile and fixed applications. Our clients profit from our extensive experience in both sectors, whereby we translate synergies arising from the convergence of services and networks into maximum competitive advantage. In a further step, we can manage the implementation and realization of all measures on our client’s behalf à see Network Performance and Implementation Management.
