The Problem
A leading Tier 1 Cable MSO was evaluating its multi-year network transformation strategies and approached DTS to assist with the analysis, cost forecasting, and material preparation for the board of directors to convince them of their roadmap and hence the request for multi-billion dollar incremental funding.
DTS Approach

- Integrated technology, competitive and product remodeling
- Convinced C-level executives on the end-to-end strategy
- Created presentations for C-Level execs to present for board approval
- Assisted with budget allocation across multiple organizations and teams
- Assisted with the kick off of the overall program governance
- Monitored the budget, activities, and impact on customer experience
