HOW TO

PREPARE AND RESOURCE

The One Touch Switching Company (TOTSCo)

We recognise that the hub is one element in the successful delivery of OTS. There are a whole host of other end-to-end readiness activities that you may need to consider to successfully enable OTS within your organisation.

Get started as early as you can. To prepare for OTS it means adapting your systems and processes. It requires resources, including technical expertise and dedicated personnel.
To support you in this process, we have drafted a ‘Getting Ready for OTS Checklist’ with an idea of some of the activities you need to think about.
