A leading Tier 1 US-based Cable Operator wanted to understand the impact of technology evolution plans on their video products roadmap as well as CPE device inventory.
Video Transformation
The Problem
DTS Approach
- Aligned with senior executives on the scope and objectives of the project
- Interviewed key stakeholders to compile relevant information:
- Video Product Management: Video Product roadmap
- Data Product Management: Data Product roadmap
- CPE Device Product Management: Device Roadmap and capabilities
- Engineering: Technology Transformation Roadmap and capabilities
- Product Finance: Cost and Device Inventory data
- Analyzed compiled information and compiled a detailed technology vs product capability model with 10-year evolution plan
- Modeled five video product transformation scenarios
- Modeled high-level network transformation costs
- Modeled CPE device inventory forecast and associated costs
- Reviewed and aligned modeling assumptions and analysis with key stakeholders
Client Benefits
- The model enabled the client to clearly understand the impacts of various technology upgrade options on their video and data product roadmaps
- Using the model, the client was able to easily explore numerous “what-if” scenarios without having to re-do extensive data analysis
- Key client stakeholders could align on a coordinated technology, video, data and CPE product roadmap while understanding device inventory and cost implications
