Technology Planning. It is understood that the implementation of technological change is, in itself, a process as well as being a part of a process of continuous improvement. The technological changes will be introduced progressively over time, therefore the Company will discuss with the Union the planned introduction of technological change into the work place thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of such change. The discussions shall include the solicitation and consideration of recommendations of the Union as to the accomplishment of the planned changes. It is understood that cooperation between the Company and the Union is vital to the success of implementation. As part of these discussions, the Company will provide the Union with information concerning the nature of the technological change to include:
Technology Planning. Before and during Task 3.1.2 (Design/Setup of Back Office) and Task 3.2 (UIQ Integration and Configuration Assistance), Silver Spring and ComEd will engage in interactive technology planning sessions that will provide information about the Design/Setup and UIQ Integration Assistance tasks and educate key ComEd personnel on Silver Spring technology and practices. Sessions will be held via telephone conference call or web conferencing (e.g., WebEx). Sessions will begin upon execution of this SOW and be completed within three (3) months. These sessions are separate from and in addition to training sessions provided under Task 3.3.
Technology Planning. The Parties will engage in interactive technology planning sessions to jointly review and confirm the contents of the DA Questionnaire, and to confirm the requirements of the GridScape deployment. Material changes after the Parties have agreed to the responses to the DA Questionnaire may require a change order at additional cost to ComEd.
Technology Planning. In or about the month of August each Contract Year, ACS shall initiate and engage in planning activities with Symetra aimed at identifying and memorializing in a written technology plan (each a “Technology Plan”) both short-term and long-range plans that tie into Symetra’s business goals and objectives. The short-term plan will include information technology budget development for the next fiscal year including, consistent with the requirements of Section 2.5.2, expectations regarding Equipment Refresh and Software Enhancements during the next Contract Year and a projected time schedule for procuring the necessary software, hardware and services and implementing the proposed changes. The long-range plan will include strategic and flexible use of information technology systems in light of Symetra’s business goals, current mission, objectives, priorities and strategies. During the August planning activities described above, the Parties jointly shall work on developing the Technology Plan, and on or before September 1 of each Contract Year, ACS shall submit a final version of the Technology Plan to Symetra (each a “September Technology Plan”). In addition, in or about the month of February each Contract Year, ACS shall initiate and engage in planning activities with Symetra aimed at identifying and memorializing any appropriate updates to the then-current September Technology Plan. During such February planning activities, the Parties jointly shall work on developing updates to the then-current September Technology Plan, and on or before March 1 of each Contract Year, ACS shall submit a final version of the updated draft of the then-current September Technology Plan to Symetra.
Technology Planning. Direct planning efforts of North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc. (“NPSI”) and its subsidiaries, through the identification of new products and technologies to be investigated for possible deployment in the NPTC, PTI or Pinnatech networks, and communicate strategic goals to the planning staff of each of NPSI’s subsidiaries. Serve as Vice President – Operations of NPSI.
Technology Planning. The OMO keeps abreast of new technology developments, advancements, announcements, standards, and operational best practices in LMR-related technology. The OMO reports and meets periodically with the appropriate UC personnel to discuss and evaluate new technology for applicability to the system. The OMO is present during system/equipment testing or product reviews at the designated user facility and facilitates the test plan (if requested), check off procedures and the sign off documents. An important initial consideration in enhancing the management of an existing wireless network is the condition, design, and operations of the current wireless equipment. The OMO will work closely with users to evaluate the current state of operations and equipment capabilities and recommend changes to the UC, as necessary, for improved management and operations of the system. The OMO, working with the UC, will assess the goals and objectives of the system, from time to time, to identify the role radio communications play in achieving the desired system operational objectives. Some of the activities that will be involved in the strategic technology planning process include, but are not limited to: • Reviewing currently available wireless technologies in the industry and evaluating their applicability to system functional, technical, and agency requirements • Evaluating changing technical and applicable user mission requirements to recommend how the system can be used more effectively • Developing a plan, in cooperation with the User Council, for the necessary modification of hardware/software of the existing wireless system equipment
Technology Planning. Supplier shall participate, at Company’s request, in Company’s annual financial, operational and technology planning process, as further set forth in Exhibit 8 (Technical Architecture and Product Standards). Such technology planning process shall include (1) the identification of the least cost/highest benefit methods to implement technology changes and improvements in architecture, platforms, processes and methodologies, and (2) the creation of a comprehensive, integrated, technology refresh and total lifecycle management plan for each Tower, platform, Software type, Equipment type and technology, on each of a one-year, three-year and five-year planning horizon (“Technology Refresh Plan”), which plan shall meet the minimum requirements specified in Exhibit 8 (Technical Architecture and Product Standards). In addition, such plan shall address any technology requirements associated with any expansion of or changes in Company Service Locations and/or facility requirements of Company.
Technology Planning. Each Contract Year, Provider shall prepare a plan, subject to approval by Investors, (the “Technology Plan”) in accordance with the following procedures:
