Stepped Change

Traditional Telecoms supply relationships are very much ‘hands off’ affairs. Typically supply agreements are fixed for the ‘medium term’ with little or no opportunity to manage underlying technology change - It’s a situation that drives companies to make quite radical ‘Step Changes’ during contract breaks in order to attempt to keep their business technology competitive.

TFM Networks believe that the traditional ‘Step Change’ approach does not work for most businesses. The stakes are incredibly high managing delayed change whilst seeking to anticipate future business needs for the next period of contract. Planning requirements are complex and costly sucking in IT resources and often requiring additional and expensive consultancy support – because the cost of making the wrong choice can be so high.

TFM Networks can take a totally different contractual approach because of its flexible ‘Virtual Network’ business model. Our supply agreements with multiple network operators mean we can take flexible and continuous approach to technology change. It’s an approach that we call ‘Stepped Change’; one that enables our customers to develop their network infrastructure and refresh technology throughout the contractual period in series of planned network developments - aligning change and infrastructure cost to the natural cycle of their business.

TFM Networks Stepped Change approach starts by accepting rather than rejecting your current network environment. Whilst TFM Networks believe implicitly in the benefits of future orientated IP solutions, our legacy management products enable us drive change from your start point. Creating legacy cost reductions that help to fund further Stepped Changes of development and innovation – enabling continuous improvement right from the start.

We believe that Stepped Change works because it is straightforward common sense – creating real value by embracing and managing the complexity of technology change within rather than outside the contractual process.

We do genuinely recognise that some businesses will still prefer to maintain a ‘hands off’ approach to their network supply relationships. However, for those companies seeking to take a progressive and continuous approach to technology change and those battling to manage legacy out of their networks, then we believe that TFM Networks is the company for you – because our business model is specifically designed to align change to your business agenda.
