A Technology Rollout System consists of four parts: Process Structure, Rollout Services Model, Internal Resources and Partnerships.
You must have all four parts in place for it to be a true system of methodologies, which is necessary for a technology rollout company to be able to provide nationwide or global deployment services. And the benefits of a Technology Rollout System are considerable! These are just a few that you'll enjoy:
- Minimized project costs by providing less vendors and clearer communication through a defined Process Structure
- Accelerated deployment time by utilizing an organized Deployment Method
- Accountability through on demand site status updates via the Web-based Software Application
- Scalability and flexibility to meet diverse project needs through the Rollout Delivery Team
- Independent of equipment and technology which allows for the deployment of any legacy and new technologies by utilizing a unified Rollout Services Model
- Highest quality of service
Not All Systems are Created Equal!Just because a company claims to have a Technology Rollout System in place doesn't mean it is the most efficient one for your project needs. For instance, a technology rollout company may use the Centralized Single-Tier Process Structure, have a complete Rollout Services Model, but lack the Internal Resources and Rollout Delivery Team or the established Partnerships on a nationwide scale that are necessary to support the project from a manpower perspective.
Thus, just knowing the parts of a Technology Rollout System isn't enough. You have to be able to evaluate those parts as well.
Evaluating a Technology Rollout SystemUntil recently, this information didn't exist on an industry-wide level. There are a number of reasons why this information has gone unexplained for so long. It is a critical aspect after all – A multi-million or billion dollar project isn't complete and will just be a pile of cables, equipment and circuits if the work at the site level is not completed professionally and efficiently. If the deployment and installation at the site level is ignored or written off as a commodity service, it's the same as running a marathon and quitting 1 mile before you cross the finish line (maybe that's why it's called the Last Mile!).
