This paper is meant to help executive decision-makers a carrier and enterprise organizations understand the importance of business-, service- and network-level transformation in achieving differentiation, and to help them address the complexities of implementing a transformation strategy. It also explains why only a Network Integrator—with the ability to tap extensive experience in both IT systems in network services—can assist by providing the unique capabilities needed to implement a transformation strategy successfully. It then examines how the right partner can also function as a trusted advisor and/or consultant throughout the entire transformation process—especially when that partner boasts a proven and comprehensive services methodology, along with a transformation framework, that allow it to reduce complexity, manage the inter-relationships among transformation projects and mitigate risk throughout the deployment lifecycle. Read more.]]> http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/browse/content/details/59-smart_metering__enabling_greater_energy_efficiency http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/browse/content/details/59-smart_metering__enabling_greater_energy_efficiency no http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/comments.aspx?&contentid=59&returnpage=/browse/content/details/59-smart_metering__enabling_greater_energy_efficiency Smart Metering – Enabling Greater Energy Efficiency The electricity industry is one of the few industries where unconstrained demand is starting to be actively discouraged. The combination of rapidly increasing, more intense seasonal demand peaks with increasing pressure on infrastructure investment are causing the industry to look for ways of more intelligently managing demand. Smart metering is increasingly being seen as a tool through which regulators and network operators will be able to shape electricity demand patterns in the future. Smart metering will allow operators to educate and financially incentconsumers to be more aware of their energy usage. Ultimately it could allow a limited level of control over non-critical load, thereby increasing the reliability of supply and asset utilization efficiency. Read more.]]> http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/browse/content/details/58-strategies_for_supporting_nextgeneration_networks__proactive_predictive__preventive http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/browse/content/details/58-strategies_for_supporting_nextgeneration_networks__proactive_predictive__preventive no http://www.whitepaperconnect.com/comments.aspx?&contentid=58&returnpage=/browse/content/details/58-strategies_for_supporting_nextgeneration_networks__proactive_predictive__preventive Strategies for Supporting Next-Generation Networks - Proactive, Predictive & Preventive As service providers compete to roll out advanced end-user services over next-generation networks (NGNs), they must consistently meet accelerating customer performance and service expectations to maintain their competitive edge.
