Planning for telecommunications must include considerations
for both short- and long-term needs and objectives.
The telecommunications world is changing so rapidly
that cutting-edge technology today is old news tomorrow.
In order to ensure that long-term needs are fully accounted
for, Schooley Mitchell Consultants develop analyses
in consultation with you. Schooley Mitchell can provide
the following Managed Services for your business.
SYSTEMS DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION
DEVELOPMENT
Understanding your needs and matching the most appropriate
suppliers and solutions to those needs is a critical
step along the path to delivering reduced costs and
increased efficiency to your business. A change to a
critical component of your business requires precise
planning to ensure that transitions are smooth and objectives
are met. Schooley Mitchell prepares detailed Request
For Quotes (RFQ)'s / Request for Proposals (RFP)'s based
on information identified in a needs analysis. Only
at this point will qualifying suppliers be asked to
provide proposed solutions.
TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
The technology available changes almost every day. Supported
by a sophisticated research and development team, Schooley
Mitchell's mandate is to be well informed about new
communications technologies and to have the expertise
to deliver the technology to you as soon as it is available.
We ensure proper evaluation is completed on new products
and services prior to considering them as part of an
appropriate solution. The goal is to ensure that all
available technology is considered to meet your needs,
but also to ensure the technology is stable and will
ultimately deliver value, not headache.
VENDOR ASSESSMENT
Schooley Mitchell's expertise ensures that vendor responses
are comparable and that only responses in appropriate
format are considered. All vendor inquiries are handled
in a consistent and professional manner. Vendors themselves
are evaluated to ensure they will satisfy your needs.
Certain due diligence procedures are completed, including
consideration of:
- Vendor pricing
- Vendor history
- Service capabilities
- Training capabilities
- Maintenance agreements
- Contract language
- References
VENDOR NEGOTIATION AND SELECTION
Following evaluation and assessments of vendors that
fit your criteria, further negotiation may be required
to ensure all needs are met at an appropriate cost.
Schooley Mitchell's wide breadth of industry experience
ensures that this process delivers the optimum solution
to you.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT/IMPLEMENTATION
The ultimate purpose of any evaluation process is to
ensure that the best solution, at the best price, is
implemented to satisfy your needs. Schooley Mitchell
ensures that the implementation process is executed
with minimum disruption to your business. Scheduling,
installation, training, "extras", follow-up
and continuing service procedures are all a part of
the implementation process that Schooley Mitchell's
experienced Consultants manage for you.
