Service Upgrade Solutions13
Upgrading service typically presents a series of challenges. Will the new equip- ment be compatible with existing equipment and the local network? Must the ser- vice be interrupted? If so, for how long? Is it necessary to replace all related equipment? How much time must be budgeted for installation and retraining of administrators? How much space will the new system require? DEFINITY ECS actually expedites service upgrades because Lucent Technologies design engi- neers considered each aspect of the process:
■Connecting to the existing network
■Amortizing replacement costs
■Ensuring uninterrupted service during transition to a new system
■Storing new equipment
■Making optimum use of available lines
■
■Backward compatibility
■Seamless integration
