Supplier Acceptance Testing. Describe the acceptance testing that Supplier will perform for different types of service components (e.g., data network services, voice services, managed network services).
Supplier Acceptance Testing. Yes As implementation of each site progresses, the CenturyLink Transition Manager will work with VITA to define individual site turn-up goals and refine the schedule as necessary. The CenturyLink Transition Manager (Project Manager) will document the schedule and provide VITA weekly status (via the semi-weekly status calls) to allow ample time to plan and execute activities at each site. As each site reaches the activation stage, the CenturyLink Transition Manager will coordinate and monitor activities with the CenturyLink installation teams via conference calls scheduled on a per-activation basis. Prior to handover to VITA, CenturyLink will fully test each component of the service to ensure operability. To ensure that VITA receives only fully operable services, CenturyLink will conduct this testing at time of turn-up, with no activation considered complete until VITA personnel verify site operability and connectivity. This is the final phase of the transition process and includes completion reports and inputs to Weekly Transition Planning Reports and Weekly Transition Execution Reports. The final phase of transition activates CenturyLink SLA service compliance activities, as well as the initializing service maintenance and monitoring. Most important during this phase, CenturyLink documents lessons learned and efficiencies gained and provides feedback as necessary to Transition Teams and the Transition Coordinator to improve the overall Transition process.
