01
Network operations review
Current state of network operations versus the acquiring operator's standards. Process gaps, tooling gaps, governance gaps. Sized as remediation cost.
Pre-Migration / Operational Readiness DD
Prioritised remediation backlog before you flip an acquired network onto your target operating model.
Get in touchWho this is for
For UK altnet operators who have just acquired a network and need a prioritised remediation backlog - capex and opex sized - before flipping it onto your target operating model.
There's a gap between deal close and integration delivery. The acquiring operator owns the network, but the network isn't yet running on the target operating model. The data isn't yet aligned, contractor performance isn't yet under the right governance, and PIA operations may not yet meet your standards. F5 is the work that fills that gap: an operational readiness DD whose output is a prioritised remediation backlog with capex / opex sizing - actionable from day one of the integration programme.
What's covered
Five workstreams
02
Contractor performance review
Existing contractor base, performance against Openreach / industry benchmarks, contract structure, exit / transition options. Where the contractor base needs replacement or restructuring.
03
PIA operational readiness
Live PIA exposure, CANDID compliance gap analysis, portal usage maturity, contractor PIA performance. This is the M1-anchored workstream - rare among UK boutique DD providers.
04
Customer-base migration prep
Cohort analysis, migration sequencing options, communication plan, churn risk assessment. Sets up F4-post integration delivery.
05
Target-operating-model gap analysis
Where the acquired network's operating model differs from the acquiring operator's. Sized remediation work to close each gap.
The deliverable
The output is a prioritised remediation backlog. Each item: scope, sized capex / opex, dependency map, recommended sequencing. Built so it's actionable from day one of the post-deal integration programme - no translation step between DD output and PMO input.
How we size an engagement
- Scale of acquired network (UPRNs, RFS, active customers)
- Number of target-operating-model deltas
- PIA usage maturity (M1 sizing factor)
- Contractor base size and complexity
- Time pressure to flip onto target operating model
Why us
Three credentials anchored to F5
M1
PIA operational readiness
PIA operations are a named workstream within F5. Operational PIA experience makes this depth real, not theoretical - rare among boutique DD providers.
M2
Tier-1 migration lens
Hands-on Tier-1 UK altnet migration experience informs every workstream. We have delivered the programmes the F5 backlog feeds into.
M3
AI-augmented gap analysis
Cross-system gap analysis (operational tooling, contractor performance, data quality) at scale - faster pattern-matching than traditional analyst-team review.
