In addition to negotiations with these entities, ICAs were negotiated with ILECs that have subsequently been merged into these entities: Pacific Bell (ATT), Ameritech (ATT), SBC (ATT), Qwest, Hawaiian Telcom, and GTE West (Verizon).

Quality/ Process Management

Quality/ Process Management
The mapping of processes and the establishment of metrics are inherent requirements for effective quality management activities. Quality management is a key aspect of cost containment and, ultimately, cost reduction.
As a complement to the process mapping, the training of employees in quality management techniques is critical to drive process management down to “ownership” at the discrete process level; both at the functional and inter-functional levels
