All Firstnet projects follow our in purpose built
delivery methodologies. Consistent engagement
ensures predictable outcomes to our clients
allowing us to deliver projects successfully every
time. Our systematic way promotes best practice,
we ensure that this is consistently applied and
reused. Essential intellectual property and lessons
learned associated with project delivery is
captured and retained so that we can efficiently
repeat the same delivery with minimal risk.
Our Service delivery methodology that we have
developed, addresses both the effectiveness and
efficiency of our Service Desk provisions. It
ensures that Firstnet is constantly aiming to increase first-contact resolution minimising downtime
and ensuring high levels of customer network availability. Through proactive, predictable
collaboration via our staff, toolsets, methodology and clients we are able to ensure our Incident
processes follow an ITIL framework which is underpinned by our Incident management platform
Servicenow. Our dedicated operational practices reduces downtime for our clients, leading to
improved user experiences and service levels. Ultimately, our methodology will reduce the cost of
your operational support.

delivered for less with constantly improved service levels. Firstnet recognises that an all-encompassing
