Techno is going to migrate from a legacy telecommunication system to Voice over Internet (VoIP).
The IT project lead will determine project readiness by meeting with project participants to review roles and responsibilities. Once the project's fundamental focus areas and deployment goals are established, project resource allocation, technology discovery, and an awareness of an enrollment and deployment model will be defined. Technical readiness pulse-check followed by system configuration and validation will be performed prior to the new system rollout.
Described below are objectives and goals, technical and system requirements, process of vendor selections, cost analysis, and implementation plan.
