My responsibility as an Enterprise IT PM within the IPv6 Organization was to manage three projects. The first of these BIS/AVTS/ANIRA Services was a critical Customer Facing/Internal Enhancement Project which also, included Hardware Deployment.  The customers impacted were Starbucks and Royal Dutch Shell which were basing their contract renewal decision on AT&T’s ability to increase their internet speed from (20mg to 100mg) by a specified deadline date.  I worked diligently with my Director, Client PM and IBM Counterpart to successfully accelerate and split the Software from the Hardware portion of this project. This facilitated an early Software Deployment Release that enabled the Sales Organization to satisfy the requirements of these two major customers and also, to renew their contracts.
