Initiative name

ID Provided by DT PMO

11317 SA&D - Green River dployment (previous #8947) 

Description of the initiative

Green River Plant is located outside Standard Internet Service provider Networks. Due to incapactity of Internet Service Provider to deliver a new Fiber Optical circuit, Solvay need to create at his own initiative a tube (8.8 km / 26400ft) from existing public network to Green River Plant location in order to support Fiber Optic delivery.

This decision was taken 5 years after the initial order to BT and continious escalation and technical & admistrative hazards since. 

Due to location (US Wyoming), the work has to be done before winter.

Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap


2023 Digital Technology Key objective

P1

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Do

  • Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI

Don´t

  • Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

All users of Green River Plant


What is the number of users impacted?



What about the Business Needs?

2.3. Overall Service Delivery Management for a project

A standardised process for creating and introducing services. It may sound basic, but Service Design and Introduction should be considered at the very beginning of the project.

  • Moving through the various project stages from Envision, strategize (requirements gathering) to planning, delivering value and testing before deploying the service. 
  • Embedding service introduction activities into project delivery, with defined success criteria at each stage avoids a re-work which can negatively impact the project in terms of time, cost and quality.

Which platform will maintain the new service?
