Operating context

The environment

Senior-living communities depended on telecommunications services purchased from fragmented legacy providers. Account ownership, pricing, service details, support paths, and location requirements varied, making both operations and strategic decisions harder to manage.

Program leadership connected service inventory, business requirements, carrier coordination, migration planning, validation, and billing review across the participating communities through one operating plan.

The challenge

Why the work required a connected approach

The work had to reduce unnecessary cost without treating active numbers, circuits, specialty services, or resident-facing operations as interchangeable line items. Every transition required accurate records, clear ownership, and a sequence that protected continuity.

The program established a verified view of existing services, identified location-level requirements and exceptions, developed a standardized target with Comcast Business Mid-Market, and coordinated migration activity around operational readiness.

Connected workstreams

Several disciplines moving through one operating plan.

Service and billing inventory

Reconciled accounts, locations, services, numbers, costs, terms, ownership, and known dependencies before recommending disconnects or migrations.

Requirements and target design

Separated genuine operating needs from inherited services, then defined a repeatable carrier solution with room for documented location exceptions.

Migration coordination

Connected carrier orders, number and service transitions, site access, local contacts, testing, escalation, and fallback decisions.

Financial validation

Reviewed expected recurring charges and legacy disconnects so technical completion translated into measurable billing improvement.
