The Telco industry is a new and fast developing industry with ever changing goals and deadlines. I worked with clients at various levels at Huawei, Vodacom South Africa and Telkom South Africa and managed the timelines and expectations of the different clients with various teams in the field. The cultural differences experienced between ourselves and some of the international companies made for interesting project management and client liaison.Except for the technical work to be done, I also had to use the supplier management system implemented by the client, in order to track projects, get sign-off on completed purchase orders, manage variation orders, and get our invoices loaded and paid.Frequent meetings at the client offices in order to track progress and get document sign-off, made me resilient in dealing with difficult clients.
