Freddie Mac

Communications & Media

Nextel
Nextel Communications needed to establish a Project Management Office (PMO) for the oversight of multiple initiatives within the order management and fulfillment divisions. The existing infrastructure lacked an end to end project management process and best practices. Nextel had conducted an initial evaluation of industry standard practices and determined it wanted to implement a PMO leveraging Project Management Institutes (PMI) standards but lacked the expertise and bandwidth in-house.

AT&T
AT&T Wirless/TeleCorp PCS implemented the Convergys Atlas wireless billing platform which required the conversion of several billing systems under extreme deadlines. A Deployment Management Office (DMO) needed to be established to ensure all conversion activities were completed successfully and on time. The effort required centralized tracking and consolidated reporting of projects and other program activities and establishing a center of excellence for defining and promoting consistent and effective project management practices.

Verizon
Verizon's eBusiness Systems Division was in need for a decision support solution centric to their procurement and supply chain applications. The organization was not able to identify the buying trends of their users and develop purchasing strategies to save the company money.

AT&T and British Telecom
International, federal and state regulatory bodies requiring telecommunications carriers to file forms or reports that provide revenue, traffic and circuit information. In the past, Concert parent companies (ATT & BT) have submitted the required forms and reports to these entities on behalf of concert. Beginning JANUARY 2001, Concert was held responsible for reporting regulatory information to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) which are state regulatory bodies. To ensure timely and accurate reporting, an automated system was needed to ensure that the Concert Financial Systems division can access Concert financial information and generate reports.
