Data Migration, New York City Department of Education

Overview

The New York City Department of Education is the department of the government of New York City that manages the city's public school system. The City School District of the City of New York is the largest school system in the United States, with over 1.1 million students taught in more than 1,800 separate schools.

Project Scope

Under this project, the DOE wanted to migrate all NYC schools’ data circuits from Verizon to LighTower.  The DOE was seeking a vendor to manage and oversee work required at school sites including ordering circuits, surveying sites, working with LighTower and engineering to make sure that LighTower has path and information to install new fiber services to their 1200+ school buildings.  The vendor was responsible to manage tasks for this migration at the sites.


Solution

V Group as a part of an entire project deliverable was responsible for planning, directing, and managing the data/telecom circuit migration project. Our team created and managed the project plans and also compiled inputs from the department's technical resources, and management to refine the project plan. We coordinated, directed, and oversaw the installation of new LighTower Data circuits.

V Group's expertise was utilized for managing highly complex, mission-critical telecommunication projects throughout the project lifecycle. We delivered expert-level project management to the overall LighTower Migration Project. During the project, we provided our technical knowledge in the analysis, planning, and execution of IT solutions also provided assistance in the preparation and execution of procedural and operational studies and analysis related to the management of the project. We believe each and every detail must be documented so our team created high-level documentation relating to the project that can be formulated into tasks.

V Group provided assistance in the development, planning, and implementation of new projects and technology in order to meet the overall strategic goals of the organization. Apart from the project documentation we also maintained risks, issues, and updates status, along with resolution details.
