Project Management

Calliga’s proven ability to coordinate a major network upgrade, expansion or migration project is one of our most valued services. As experts in next-generation networks and converged technology, our team provides essential support in ensuring that projects are completed successfully in keeping with a client’s technology and business objectives. Calliga manages the entire process of deploying a new client technology using proven delivery and staging processes to handle each phase, from order consolidation and pre-installation testing, through coordination of deployment resources with equipment delivery and removal of packaging, to final handover and project closure.

Implementation

Successful system deployments and OS migrations begin with careful preparation of applications and images.

We can help clients build a business case, obtain a “buy-in” from senior management and involve employees in the migration process. Then, we manage the deployment of new equipment and applications, and provide ongoing resources and support to ensure the network continues to deliver the desired results.

As a leading IT/network technology solutions partner, Calliga provides customized support packages tailored to client’s specific needs.

Our technology partners also post extensive technical documentation, application downloads and other support services on their websites.
