Best practices for service delivery: Translating customer needs into


network services

• Translating customer needs into network services is part art and part science.
• Best practices have emerged around identifying customer needs by
developing a checklist to help you define a customer's business requirements,
then translate them into technical requirements and technology solutions.

• Finally, understanding the essential steps of a successful implementation
process will keep projects on track and on budget.
• Business requirements drive technology initiatives.
• Gathering requirements is an intensive process. In general there are three
key areas of requirements that need to be addressed. The areas are:
1. Business requirements
