With ServiceNow’s SPMT solution, you can build organizational agility, delivering work across the enterprise that is aligned with strategic outcomes — even in today’s disruption- prone environment. Strategic Portfolio Management for Telecommunications In today’s fast-paced telecommunications environment, the demand for seamless connectivity has surged due to the adoption of new digital tools and strategies, IoT, the ongoing push for 5G rollouts, and more. Telecom companies are expanding their ecosystems to meet global connectivity needs, which requires them to manage numerous programs and projects simultaneously. Major telecom initiatives, such as fiber deployment contracts, network scaling, wireless site development, and 5G implementation require effective collaboration tools to coordinate efforts both within the organization and with external partners. With so many moving parts, it can be challenging to keep everything on track and ensure that goals are met. Most projects involve complex technologies and operate under tight timelines and budget constraints, all while facing high expectations for timely delivery and cost efficiency. Telecom leaders often struggle to make quick, informed decisions due to a lack of reliable data from multiple systems. Additionally, getting the right resources to manage specialized technology can lead to slow project delivery. Multiple vendors, siloed work, and contractual disputes can affect project quality and efficiency.
