• Service Performance:
  • Explicit definition of any service performance objectives are required for inclusion and monitoring by the operational teams. All solutions need to be monitored; no solution should be allowed into operation if it cannot be monitored. Creating either telemetry hooks or monitoring data is vital.
• Technical Impact:
  • Consideration for the entire solution and how this design and the associated requirements will impact them. This must consider existing capability modules in the TradeSwitch Architecture as well as shortcomings, capacity and performance.
