• Our client was able to conduct multiple technology- and budget- related “what-if” scenarios based on different market conditions.

The Problem

A leading Tier 1 Cable MSO wanted to understand the financial impacts of deploying Fiber To The Home as compared to the existing DOCSIS deployments. They approached DTS to provide strategic support in making the decision and creating technical collateral to convince the senior management to fund the project.

Client Benefits

• The Client, Senior VP of Engineering, gained approval from the C-level leadership and the board of directors to strategically invest in FTTH deployments.
• The client could successfully deter the fiber competition from the incumbents and the new entrants, such as Google.
• The client was successfully able to rollout Fiber To The Home in three different markets within a span of nine months with a full end-to-end organization support.

The Problem

A Tier 1 US-based Cable Operator wanted to significantly reduce their end to end Fiber To The Home costs by eliminating parallel data, voice and video networks.

Client Benefits

• Detailed resource requirements by resource type by time period made available to support deployment plan, allowing timely on-boarding of resources.
• Materials arrived and available on time, preventing costly delays and dissatisfied customers.

The Problem

The client was looking to roll out a new product strategy and wanted to understand current gaps associated with processes, skills training and tool capabilities. They were also wanting a framework for an informal trial to test the concept and validate initial recommendations and assumptions. Finally, they wanted a cost model that scoped market size and analyzed cost savings and avoidance.

Client Benefits
