Challenge

Giganet/Cuckoo, aiming to transition into a standalone Internet Service Provider (ISP), sought to build, operate, and maintain its own fixed-line Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network, while also offering nationwide services through partnerships. The challenge lay in executing a comprehensive procurement strategy that prioritised ethical and environmental considerations, establishing an effective Project Management Office (PMO), and developing an end-to-end programme schedule aligned with the business plan.

Solution

G&T played a pivotal role in supporting Giganet/Cuckoo's transition by collaborating with the Chief Procurement Officer to implement a data-driven procurement strategy centred on ethics and environmental sustainability. We facilitated the onboarding of key suppliers and partners across various services, including professional services, logistics, design, material provision, surveying, and construction. Additionally, We assisted in establishing the PMO and developing a comprehensive programme schedule, ensuring alignment with the business plan and enabling the company to exceed its objectives.

Outcome

Through G&T's support, Giganet/Cuckoo successfully transitioned into an independent ISP with a robust FTTH network and nationwide service offerings. Implementing a procurement strategy with strong ethical and environmental foundations and an effective PMO and detailed programme schedule positioned Giganet/Cuckoo to deliver high-quality services and achieve sustainable growth in the competitive telecommunications market.
