Consider in advance the varying types of sites that you need to connect, their individual connectivity requirements, the speed of deployment required and the potential complexities involved.

Whilst the connectivity savings are there to be had through the aggregation of procurement, the added value of collaboration and consolidation mean that the way the service is deployed may be different from existing communications infrastructures; in fact if it isn’t then the real benefits of PSN could be lost.

A key element of the PSN Delivery Framework is early technical engagement in the service on-boarding transition and deployment process. Designing a shared network environment has to take account of any transition and deployment phases, as it is the move from what stakeholders already have to the new service that, ultimately, is the test of a practical goal architecture.

Why this is so important is simply that in the move from single user to shared community networks it is self-evident that virtually everybody will already have an existing service, of varying types, service qualities and capabilities. Deployment will very rarely be a green-field play, and therefore deployment will in most cases be transition, and with that comes a different kind of project planning and execution strategy.

Transitioning existing networks onto a newly formed PSN has been one of the key experiences Logicalis has gained from our existing service delivery engagements.
