Network Modernization

Accelerating Digital Transformation Through Global Network Modernization.

Outcome
  • Employee Experience Enhanced: Significant latency and bandwidth improvements across all sites
  • Operational Agility Increased: New business models and digital initiatives enabled
  • Global Consistency Achieved: Standardized network configuration and coverage across sites
  • Infrastructure Scalability Established: Future-ready foundation supporting emerging technologies
  • Performance Reliability: Consistent network performance and reduced downtime
Customer: Industrial Group
Industry: Pharmaceutical, Chemical

Executive Summary

Global sites faced outdated network infrastructure limiting employee productivity and business agility. The client needed a comprehensive modernization strategy to deploy software-defined networking and expanded Wi-Fi coverage across 600 sites while ensuring minimal disruption and sustained performance improvements.

Friction

HUMAN
  • Network performance gaps affecting daily work efficiency
  • User experience challenges due to legacy connectivity limitations
ORGANIZATIONAL
  • Unclear stakeholder map at program launch hindering effective planning and decision-making
  • Missing cross-functional coordination framework for 600-site transformation
  • Ambiguous roles and escalation paths across program, regional, and site levels
PROCESS
  • Inefficient rollout planning without consistent site assessments
  • Lack of structured implementation and support processes
ECOSYSTEM
  • Outdated network technology limiting integration capabilities
  • Dependencies on external providers and legacy systems

Goal

Systematically identify and eliminate network-related frictions, translating them into measurable business value in user experience, operational agility, and scalability through a structured modernization program.

Transformation Pillars

  1. 1
    Rollout Methodology & Playbook :
    End-to-end rollout approach defined – from initial planning through to BAU handover, standardized execution framework established
  2. 2
    Program Management & PMO Setup :
    Cross-functional teams established, roles and responsibilities documented, consistent coordination mechanisms across sites
  3. 3
    Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management :
    Stakeholder map clarified, engagement model designed, smooth implementation enabled through coordinated communication
  4. 4
    Technology Architecture & Integration (SD-LAN & Wi-Fi) :
    SD-LAN architecture defined, Wi-Fi expansion blueprint created, integration requirements specified for seamless deployment
  5. 5
    Governance & Performance Tracking :
    Program governance framework implemented, KPIs defined, continuous progress monitoring and reporting established

Approach

  1. Design :
    Map all sites, assess network infrastructure, and define SD-LAN architecture and segmentation strategy
  2. Prepare :
    Establish baselines, create rollout playbooks, and develop site-specific deployment plans
  3. Implement :
    Execute phased rollout across 600 sites with minimal disruption and standardized configurations
  4. Run :
    Ensure operational readiness through continuous monitoring, performance tracking, and sustained optimization to maintain long-term network excellence
