For information and communications technology (ICT) professionals.

Maintaining and evolving technology skills, as well as selective use of service partners is a key aspect of TR-60 Infrastructure Life Cycle Management. Changes to teams, roles and authority levels are inevitable with the potential to lose talent and not keep up with the skills required for long term management of ICT infrastructure.

TIA TR-60.TSB Resourcing The Infrastructure People and Skills

Ensuring optimal network performance begins with understanding the fundamental aspects of fiber inspection and maintenance. Join our upcoming webinar, "Fiber Optic Connector Inspection: Navigating the Latest IEC 61300-3-35 Standard Revisions", where we dive into the essential elements of fiber optic connector inspection and explore the latest updates in the IEC 61300-3-35 standard. Dirty connectors remain the number one cause of network problems, affecting data transmission and system reliability. This webinar aims to equip you with the knowledge needed to prevent and address these issues effectively.

The second TR-60 TSB webinar focuses on how improved life cycle management reduces management costs, operational risks and downtime. If infrastructure design and implementation are focused only on the technology working day 1, then opportunities for cost savings and operational controls are missed. If racks are too densely packed the cabling will be messy. The cabling will become a risk every time changes are made and tracing connectivity when the network is down takes longer. You may save on Day 1 and then pay for it Day 2, Day 3 and for the next 20 years. The wise decision is to design and build for change, flexibility and ease of management with TR-60 standards as a reference.

TIA TR-60.TSB Reducing Management Costs, Operational Risks and Downtime

As the TIA TR-60 ICT Lifecycle Management Standards are introduced into IT and ICT workstreams, this new Day 2 thinking may not be intuitive to some professionals in areas like HR, Governance, Supply Chain and Security.  This webinar, presented by Jerry Bowman TR-60 Chair and David Cuthbertson TR-60.B Subcommittee Chair will introduce the listener to some of the business problems that TR-60 will solve, and provide guidance on the use case for the thirty (30) standards as they’re released.  The webinar will also provide some examples of the planned TR-60 technology management benchmarking system to allow technology stakeholders to set performance objectives and measure achievement of them.  Benchmarking is vital to finding areas of opportunity to monitor, improve and empower every internal and outsourced IT department resulting in the right processes and overall productivity, which all drive revenue. The TR-60 TSB webinar will introduce the concepts, desired outcomes and some early prescriptive guidance on how to use TR-60 to achieve them. #supplychainmanagement #TR-60 #TIAstandards #ITgovernance

TIA TR-60.TSB The Gateway To Outcome-Based Infrastructure Management

Poor ICT information management and documentation is unfortunately very common. Not only does it result in project delays and additional costs, it also compromises controls and life cycle process improvement. Key to TR-60 design, build and operational processes is reducing the burden of documentation and knowledge transfer by efficient information management. Using one name for a building, labelling a rack with an identifier, knowing where the latest network diagram is, not having to trace cables - sounds simple in concept. In this webinar the TR-60.B committee will cover the preparation, results and plans for developing the first industry standards for Day 2 management of ICT infrastructure.

ICT Infrastructure Information Management Standards - TIA TR-60.B Overview

TIA TR-60 introduces Lifecycle Management (LCM) strategic business concepts into IT and ICT management, enabling good decisions from “cradle to grave” for technology products, services, or systems.  The suite of TR-60 standards will provide a framework for planning, implementing, and managing ICT resources including people, processes, and technology.  TIA TR-60 covers lifecycle planning, design, implementation, operations, and information management - bringing together process and practices to ensure balance between change, business value and costs. TR-60 is intended to help technology, governance, human resources, security, and supply chain professionals provide positive business outcomes when challenged with improving control and having confidence in managing the constant change within an ecosystem that encompasses scores of hardware, software, networks across a wide range of systems, environments, and people.
